NET needs you!

Many of the new faces at the Organizational Meeting this month asked how to get more involved.

If you want to start out small, NET needs event hosts. Event hosts, do just that, host events. Usually, all that is required is your e-mail to RSVP and for you to show up at the event. Some more complex events require reservations or site/presenter coordination, but usually only a few hours of your time are needed. If you are interested in hosting or organizing an event please e-mail Wendy at events@netyp.org.

If you want to get further involved the NET is actively seeking people for the following positions:
  • NET Marketing Committee
If you're in the advertising, marketing or public relations sector help form the Marketing Committee and get the word out about the NET. Possible tasks include: design and execution of advertisements, flyers, signs and other print materials; oversee the website reformat and redesign; promote the NET through PR efforts including press releases and media events. Expand your portfolio with professional pieces for a worthy cause. There is a special need for graphic designers. Interested parties please contact marketing chair, Vanessa Williams at vanessawilliams2004@hotmail.com.
  • NET Sales Associates
Through the next year one of the NET's primary goals is to raise enough funds to increase the quality of the events and for the first time retain staff support. And we're off to a good start with a $5,000 sponsorship from PPL. NET is currently seeking Sales Associates to meet with top area companies to recruit funds and help us meet our financial goals through the next year. If you are a talented young sales professional and want to help with this crucial effort please contact our treasurer, Patric Dublin at treasurer@netyp.org.
  • Professional Development Chair
Coordinate the monthly business card exchange with sponsors and locations. Organize quarterly business workshops. We have sponsors and speakers already lined up, we just need someone to make a few phone calls and coordinate. If interested contact vice president Wendy Gerlach, at vicepres@netyp.org.
  • Sports Coordinator
It has always been the goal of NET to create intramural sports teams like softball, frisbee, and volleyball. In addition, the sports coordinator could organize group outings like hiking, biking, and running as well as trips to sports venues. If interested contact vice president Wendy Gerlach, at vicepres@netyp.org.
  • Government Relations representative
Through the next year one of the NET's primary goals is to raise enough funds to increase the quality of the events and for the first time retain staff support. And we're off to a good start with a $10,000 community initiative grant secured by Sen. Pat Browne. NET is currently seeking a Government Relations Representative to meet with community leaders to recruit funds and help us meet our financial goals through the next year. In addition, government community revitalization efforts could be coordinated through this individual. If you are a talented politico and want to help please contact our president, Abraham Nemitz at president@netyp.org.
  • Grant writer
Grant writers are needed to help apply for local, state and federal grants. Please contact our treasurer, Patric Dublin at treasurer@netyp.org if you possess this unique talent.
