Volunteer Roles and Expectations
Volunteers are expected to commit their time by actively participating in committee meetings and contributing thoughtfully to discussions. If a volunteer cannot attend a scheduled meeting, they should promptly inform their staff liaison. Additionally, volunteers are required to travel and attend the in-person meeting held at the ISFA Annual Conference to collaborate directly with fellow members and leadership.
Time Commitment
Committee meetings are set up by each committee, providing flexibility while maintaining consistent progress. Attendance at the in-person meeting during the ISFA Annual Conference is expected to foster stronger connections and facilitate key decision-making. Occasionally, additional meetings may be scheduled as committees work on specific projects or tasks that require more focused attention.
