The Vice President of the Marketing and Communications Division.
The Division:
The Marketing and Communications Division is responsible for membership, membership benefits and for developing, coordinating and maintaining all communications with members including committees responsible for sponsorship, membership, Club website and communications. This Division manages the Club newsletter, the membership directory through the school, the website, the Club’s dues structure and membership benefits. It is also responsible for ensuring a cohesive message for all member communication vehicles. This division is responsible for creating communications and services for the membership that will ensure a high level of member retention and for bringing new members into the club. Since continuing to attract new members is vital for the survival and prosperity of the alumni network, it is perhaps the most important function of the chapter. The Vice President is responsible for staffing and providing general management for the following committees and offices:
Roles and Responsibilities:
Working closely with the Vice President and other members of the Club’s Management Team, the co-Chair are responsible for managing and expanding the Club’s social media program, finding new ways to increase the flow of communication between the club and its members, and between the members themselves. We are looking for someone who knows social media like the back of their hand and knows how to get people to engage and respond.
As co-Chair of Social Media, you will manage the thriving WCNY LinkedIn Group (3,762 members and growing), and help determine which other social media platforms are appropriate for the club. You will coordinate with the other committees, including the Social Committee, the Career Networking committee, the Government Affairs committee and others to help them leverage social media to promote their events and programs. This role is a chance to be at the nexus of communication for the massive network of New York-area Wharton alums.
Qualifications:
All volunteers must be supporting members of the Wharton Club of New York. The type of person would be most suited for the position: an organized business/marketing professional who is looking for a challenging volunteer position that will benefit the entire membership of the Club. Volunteer must have exceptional organizational and people skills, supported by strong technical skills using Microsoft Office products. We are looking for people who have the time to give to the Club. All volunteers must adhere to Club policies as evidenced by their signing an annual acknowledgement form.
Time Commitment:
Time will vary throughout the year, but it will be approximately 2-4 hours per week on average.
Application Process:
Interested volunteers should complete the volunteer application and submit to Gabriela Sanchez, the Club’s Administrator at gsanchez@whartonny.com providing contact information, indicating which volunteer position is of interest and explaining his or her enlightened self-interest in serving the Club. Once the submission is received, the applicant will be contacted by one of the Club's volunteers. We ask that potential volunteers complete an application form and send it in with a current resume. The Club expects that each selected volunteer will treat this volunteer "job" as seriously as a professional job and recognize that it is an extension of his or her professional world.
