Membership Update

Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed your time away from the office for the holidays and it was spent with family and friends! My name is Alyssa Wendel, I serve as the Membership Coordinator for Region IV-West. Have you been looking or hearing about ways to get involved with NASPA IV-West? Or do you know someone who you think would be a great fit for the IV-West family? In March, we will have a variety of volunteer opportunities available and a majority of them you can see right now on Volunteer Central. Region IV-West serves ten states and two Canadian provinces. Each state and province has a membership coordinator who create meaningful involvement opportunities for members, promote the benefits of NASPA membership at state professional meetings that might include potential new NASPA members; develop processes to recruit and retain both individual and institutional members. State Membership Coordinators serve as active and vocal members of the Regional Advisory Board and assist the Regional Director and myself to develop the vision and goals for the board in general and for membership specifically. State Membership Coordinators serve in the volunteer role for two years. Terms end and start at the annual conference. At the conclusion of the annual conference in Austin, Texas our current state membership coordinators who have served in their role for two years will conclude their volunteer role. The following positions will be available for the 2020-2022 term:

• Missouri
• Arkansas
• Oklahoma
• Colorado
• Nebraska
• Wyoming

Currently vacant positions and can be filled at any point:

• New Mexico
• South Dakota
• Manitoba
• Saskatchewan
