Become an integral part of the success of MPISCC while networking more intimately and learning skills that will help you to advance your career.  Volunteer experience strengthens any resume!

Choose the committee that suits your interests and professional goals...or an area that you are looking to learn about!

Time commitments varies by role.  Volunteer for a few hours onsite at an event or become part of an ongoing project.  Our leadership development team will work with you to identify a role based on your interests and availability.
