Volunteering has several components.  The first of these is service to our community where your actions create a product or service that improves project management success in our region.  The second is an opportunity to lead, plan, coordinate, and execute project / program work where you hold yourself accountable and you and your team are responsible for the quality and usefulness of the products or services you and your team create.  You choose the challenge and deliver the solution.  The third benefit is an opportunity to connect to organizational leaders by serving.  The networking opportunities will create contacts for yourself that will impact your future efforts and career.  The fourth is gaining PDUs to maintain your certifications.
