AIChE wants YOU! At our upcoming November 17th AIChE meeting, we will be electing new AIChE Officers for the KC Local Section. Interested in running? You should be! Check out the details below:

Please nominate anyone you think would be a great fit for an officer position (which can include yourself!). Send your nominations to Emily Ferner at ejferner@burnsmcd.com.

Open Positions:

Vice Chair (2 years) - Plans and arranges monthly section meetings which includes communicating with venues, speakers, and other entities to organize activities. Also assists other officers, especially the Chairman, in the performance of their duties and becomes the Chairman the following year.

Treasurer (2 years) - Maintains section finances and is responsible for collecting dues and managing the PayPal account. Works to develop and keep track of corporate sponsors, prepares the annual financial report, and files taxes.

Secretary - Prepares and sends out the monthly newsletter and meeting notices, maintains the section mailing list, and records minutes of officer meetings

Webmaster - Maintains and updates the local section website and social media (Facebook and Twittter) pages and provides e-commerce (PayPal) links for the newsletter, etc.

Membership Chair - Helps the local section recruit and retain members, coordinates with company liaisons, and plans section social events and young professional events.

Outreach Chair - Organizes the local section's involvement in STEM activities for students in the Greater Kansas City area. Also facilitates engagement and benchmarking with other AIChE local sections and other local professional organizations through the JEC.

Becoming an officer is a great way to leave your mark on the KC Local Section of AIChE and influence the type of speakers we have, the events we do, and can also let you develop some great contacts for the future. I highly encourage running for a position!
