I volunteered for the communications Team because it’s my way of supporting the chapter, even though it’s a very small contribution. Being part of the team helps me to stay connected and I feel that I have some input into the overall Mission to the chapter. Plus it’s good to be on a team with my peers where we share ideas and fun in the process!
