What to Expect

A group of people work collaboratively and focus on a laptop.

The Virtual Volunteer Fairs are a dynamic, interactive event designed to help GSA members explore leadership and service opportunities, connect with current volunteers, and envision themselves in key roles within the organization.

Live Panel & Breakout Discussions: The event begins with a brief introduction, followed by breakout rooms where each panelist leads a Q&A discussion about their specific leadership role. Attendees can choose the breakout room that aligns with their interests and engage directly with current volunteers.

Hear from Current Leaders: Panelists represent a variety of officer roles, including chairs, vice chairs, student representatives, and secretary/treasurers, providing a well-rounded perspective on what it means to serve on a Section management board.

Learn How to Get Involved: Whether you’re new to GSA leadership or considering a future role, this event offers a chance to explore different positions, ask questions, and gain valuable insights from those currently serving.

By participating, you’ll gain a better understanding of how GSA leadership works and how you can take the next step toward making a meaningful impact.
