Foothills Volunteer Opportunities
Foothills Branch Chair Elect
Want to be more involved with The Mountaineers and support programs at a foundational level? Consider becoming the new Chair-Elect for the Foothills Branch. The Branch Chair-Elect’s role is part of a three-year commitment. During the first year as Chair-Elect, the primary function is training: to learn organizational policies and branch strategic priorities; to develop leadership and facilitation skills; and to become familiar with and build strong relationships with branch leadership, committee leadership, and Mountaineers staff. Throughout this year of training, the Chair Elect has the close mentorship of the current Branch Chair. It is expected that the Chair Elect will transition to Branch Chair after one year and continue to serve as Branch Chair for two years. To apply for consideration as the Foothills Branch Chair-Elect please contact current Foothills Branch Chair Travis Vermeer at travisvermeer@gmail.com."
