Role Description
WiRE is currently seeking a dynamic individual to assume the role of Volunteer Chapter Leader for the new WiRE Iceland chapter. Our Chapter Leaders are distinguished by their resilience, determination, compassion, intelligence, and understanding.

As a Chapter Leader, you will be fully integrated into the WiRE community and have access to all of its resources. Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

Determining the type of programming that best suits your chapter.

Incorporating WiRE’s regional and global initiatives into your chapter’s activities.
Collaborating with other Chapter Leaders and WIRE Volunteers to achieve milestones and goals.
Some of the benefits of volunteering for WiRE are:
Expansion of Professional Networks through Volunteering: Engaging in volunteer work can serve as a platform for broadening one’s professional landscape. It presents a unique opportunity to interact with a diverse range of individuals who can potentially become integral parts of one’s professional social network. This expansion of social connections can subsequently lead to an increase in the number of professional opportunities that become accessible.
Skill Acquisition and Enhancement: Volunteering also serves as a conduit for individuals to acquire and hone valuable skills. The hands-on experience gained through volunteering can significantly contribute to personal and professional development.
Community Contribution: Volunteering embodies the spirit of altruism and community service. Individuals who volunteer their time and skills are able to make a significant and meaningful contribution to their surrounding community, fostering a sense of unity and mutual support.
Access to Exclusive Opportunities: Volunteering often opens the door to exclusive opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible. Volunteers may receive invitations to attend prestigious events such as the Conference of Parties, G-Summit series, and other similar gatherings, providing them with unique experiences and insights.
