Not every WWA member has the desire to volunteer in traditional chapter fundraising roles. Our restructuring creates new ways to make a difference for WI Waterfowl, at a state-level, and without needing to meet the expectations of a WWA Director. And, maybe, the ideal candidates aren’t even waterfowlers, but students who want to learn/practice a skillset, or spouses who want to burnish a resume, or … ?
- Are you a good organizer?
- Do spreadsheets and databases excite you?
- Do you enjoy mentoring kids or adults in outdoor activities?
- Does telling stories through social media bring you joy?
- Are you good at persuading politicians of the righteousness of your cause?
- Have experience in writing grants? Or do you want to gain some?
- Do you have retail or merchandising experience?
- Do you have marketing experience – or want to further your professional resume – to engage internal and external audiences?
Being a member of these state-level committees generally requires the ability to participate in a monthly teleconference for planning and coordination, and to work independently in support of committee goals. Time commitments are flexible to what you can comfortably offer, and the pay is, well … priceless!
Call me, and let’s discuss any interests you have at 262-224-4949, or complete our online volunteer form. I look forward to our conversation to explore your interests.

Bruce
