Volunteer
Get Involved. Get Connected. Volunteer with SMPS Seattle.
SMPS Seattle is an all‑volunteer–run chapter of the national Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS). Our programs, events, and community thrive because passionate professionals step up to help—and we’d love for you to be one of them.
Whether you want to lead, learn, or lend a hand, there’s a volunteer opportunity for you. In addition to serving on the board or participating on committees, SMPS offers a number of other ways you can contribute your valuable services!
Big Impact. Small Time Commitment.
Most volunteer roles require as little as 2 hours per month, with flexibility based on your interests and availability. You can jump in for a short‑term task or dig deeper into a committee role—it’s entirely up to you.
All committees are currently looking for volunteers, and we’ll help match you with a role that fits your:
- Time availability
