District VIII Get Involved
CASE runs on volunteer power
Each year, more than 350 volunteer leaders serve on CASE boards and advisory groups. Another 3,200 advancement professionals volunteer their time as speakers, authors, conference planners, judges and more.
CASE volunteers are at all stages in their advancement careers, from newcomers to senior-level practitioners. They work across the advancement disciplines-alumni relations, communications, development and marketing-and around the world. They may serve a multi-year term on the CASE Board of Trustees or host a single session at a conference.
Whatever role they play, volunteers are at the heart of everything CASE does. They drive CASE's direction, develop and share knowledge about the profession and deliver services to their peers.
District volunteer opportunities include:
- Awards and Scholarship judging teams: Help review applications to ensure the worthiest district professionals are recognized with awards or given the opportunity to attend their first conference.
