Become a WELD Volunteer

WELD is powered by thousands of volunteer hours every year.  We need dozens of volunteers to help our organization operate as smoothly as possible. Chapters are run by steering committees primarily composed of volunteers.  WELD volunteers benefit by building new relationships, gaining exposure to executive level women, testing new leadership skills learned at our events and paying it forward.  Key volunteer areas include, but are not limited to: 

• Programming
• Membership
• Corporate Relations
• Marketing
• Finance
• Impact/Community Collaboration

Volunteers are needed to plan our annual Keynote and other events.  Day of event volunteer opportunities are also available for many of our events.

• Presentation skills
• Executive presence
• Sales and business development skills
• Strategic planning
• Strategic networking skills and how to leverage networks
• Building effective teams
• Conflict resolution
• Negotiation skills—basic approaches
• Negotiation skills—for executives
• Political savvy
• Work/life balance strategies
• Life decision skills
• Board community involvement for one's career
• Executive development plans
• Personal branding
• Resilience and reinvention
• Leveraging mentors, sponsors, supporters and trusted advisors
• Executive coaching—strategic value, how to select one, how to leverage the experience

If you have a special talent or business oriented towards developing these and other skills for women and would like to participate in our programs as a presenter, please click the "Speak for WELD" button below to complete the speaker profile.

WELD wants to have this information on hand so that as speaker opportunities become available, we have a good distribution list for sending out RFPs.
