If you've been to an AIMS event in the last few months you've probably heard me talk about our volunteers and seen the powerpoint slide I use to show everyone who helps out. A good chunk of those folks descended on Montana's last night to enjoy a drink, some nibbles, and mingle with the other volunteers at our first AIMS volunteer appreciation get-together.
In addition to the board we have 7 different councils and committees helping out at AIMS. Of course everyone gets to know the others in their own group but last night we threw all the committees together for a big volunteer mash-up. The result was a lot of fun and some great conversations.
Thanks again to all our volunteers who do such great work for AIMS and the community!
Speaking of community - The most recent episode of Mitch Joel's '6 Pixels of Separation' podcast includes a segment titled '6 ways to get more involved in your local marketing community'. It's a great listen and one of his 'points' talks about volunteering.
If you're thinking of getting involved (or perhaps find inspiration after listening to Mitch's podcast) please give me a call or drop me an email. We'd love to have you and I think you'll find that besides doing some great work we have a lot of fun!
