This group focuses its attention around specific interest or industries like: cultural institutions, nonprofit organizations, NGOs and public institutions. Alums employed or who sit on boards in the nonprofit world are eligible to participate.

Non-Profit-Social Impact Affinity Group (WNP-SIA) brings together Wharton alumni currently working in the not-for-profit arena either as a professional or as a volunteer board member; and those working in the for-profit sector in social impact areas to network with fellow professionals and volunteers in the field; increase their business knowledge; be informed about community needs; and actively support each other's business and personal career goals.

Responsibilities:
The Vice-Chair is responsible for assisting the WNP-SIA Chair in recruiting and managing volunteers and membership in this network and will assist in membership identification.  The Vice-Chair, together with the Chair, will be responsible for planning and scheduling regular events relevant to the needs of the this community.  S/he will also assist the Chair in the preparation and management of the affinity group’s annual budget and information reporting. The Vice-Chair is responsible for enforcing the policies and procedures of the affinity group. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in building connections in the nonprofit world.

Time Commitment:
Approximately 2 hours per week.  Note that you must have access to email which you can monitor on a daily basis, as much of the coordination among the volunteer team is conducted via email.  Being easy to reach and responsive will make the job much easier to manage.

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.

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.

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.
