Here are some of the many ways a volunteer can help NVBIA:
Advocacy efforts. We would like volunteers to monitor legislation at the national, state, or federal level, and prepare information for use in our meetings, newsletter, or website.
Information and referral. We need telephone volunteers to assist on our helpline. We also need help at our office. In addition we need volunteers to search the internet and other information sources for input to our newsletter and website.
Fundraising. In the past we have been somewhat passive in this area. New ideas are needed.
Newsletter. Do you know how to use MS Publisher or Adobe Pagemaker? Do you want to write copy for the newsletter?
Membership. Our membership database is kept current by volunteers. Are you interested in assisting with its maintenance
Publicity. We need to "get the word" out on brain injury. This ranges from telephoning to letter writing. It even includes delivering newsletters and publicity materials to professional offices.
Special events. When you think of NVBIA and special events you think of "Journey". We need help in specific areas for this activity, but also for parties, fairs, displays, etc. Any interest?
Website. This site is built using Microsoft Front Page. It presently consists of thirty pages, some of which change frequently. In the past it has had as many as ten additional pages. We would like to "spread out" some of the responsibility for website maintenance. Anyone interested?
To volunteer, call the NVBIA helpline and express an interest in one of the above areas. Your call will be returned.
