The Communications Committee could use volunteers that are interested in reaching out to other IIBA chapters for possible cross-chapter events or perhaps setting up remote meeting locations for far away IIBA NJ members. You can volunteer by contacting the Communications Chair at communications@newjersey.theiiba.org.
The Membership Committee is looking for volunteers to help with getting members checked in before meetings. In addition, any volunteers that are well versed with Microsoft Access and would like to help with the membership database would also be much appreciated.

The Professional Development and Education Committee are looking for volunteers that may want to help with study sessions or facilitate learning within the chapter. Please reach out to our Professional Development and Education Chair at profdev@newjersey.theiiba.org.
The Marketing Committee would love to have volunteers that can help spread the word of our chapter. Volunteers could help with our Newsletter or can help bring more sponsors to the chapter. If you have any ideas or would just like to help out let our Marketing Chair know at marketing@newjersey.theiiba.org.
Does Networking Work?
“I wanted to let you know that I accepted an offer to be a Senior Consultant for business processes and will be starting on Monday, Oct 18, 2010. The job came via a referral from an IIBA NJ member after he asked you (Sharon Ashton, Chapter President) to read his email out loud in the August meeting about jobs at his company.” – Erik
Erik is at least the thrid member of the NJ IIBA Chapter who obtained a position in the last 6 months through networking at the monthly Chapter meetings proving that networking is effective. If you're looking for a position, come prepared with your resume and business card - you just never know when opportunity will knock!
