ACEC-BC’s Future Leaders Network is looking for new volunteers!
Today, over 400 ACEC-BC members serve as professional volunteers on our Board, Committees, and as appointees to partner organizations. These members know that we achieve more when we work together to build a community of common interests. That’s the hallmark of membership with ACEC-BC – We’re Better Together.
Whether you’re looking to build your leadership skills or grow your professional network, ACEC-BC’s Future Leaders Network offers volunteering opportunities to help you take your career to the next level.
Volunteer positions range from organizing networking and professional development events and conferences, to being a Future Leaders Network representative on ACEC-BC committees with senior leaders from the consulting industry. All volunteer positions present great opportunities to expand and develop skills such as leading meetings and organizing events while networking with others in the consulting industry.
