 Volunteers Wanted...

ASB is currently seeking volunteers to serve on the Technical Bulletins Task Force and Membership Committee.  Below is a summary of each opportunity's objective.
  • TECHNICAL BULLETINS TASK FORCE
The Task Force's main focus is reviewing existing Technical Bulletins to determine which ones are still accurate, which ones need to be updated and where there are considerable holes in the knowledge base that should be addressed by asking members to write new Technical Bulletins.  This is a short term assignment during which the majority of work will be done on-line and through conference calls.    
  • MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE 
The Committee's main focus is developing membership recruitment campaigns and increasing baker numbers.  The door is wide open for creative ideas.  This is a long term assignment during which the majority of work will be done on-line and through conference calls.

If willing to serve, please reach out to Membership Manager Amanda Gonzalez (agonzalez@asbe.org or 1.800.713.0462 x 3) with your contact information and be sure to indicate which opportunity you're interested in.
