Strong writing skills are key, as well as competence in web-based communications. Familiarity with web page editing tools similar to WordPress is necessary.
TTN Chicago Email Campaign Assistant
This TTN Chicago member will be responsible for ensuring the email campaigns via Constant Contact are created and delivered. Knowledge of Constant Contact or a willingness to learn are a must. (This role could be combined with the Website Editor)
TTN Chicago Facebook Administrator
This person will be responsible for posting articles and news of interest to our TTN Chicago community, including updates on events provided by our team/committees. A familiarity with Facebook page management, as well as an interest in issues related to women 50+ and Chicago happenings is a must.

This TTN Chicago member will be responsible for updating and maintaining our membership list in a spreadsheet. Basic knowledge of Excel is needed.

Speakers
Several members are needed to speak at the conclusion of every TTN chapter event – telling attendees why they joined TTN and how TTN has played a role in their lives.
Programming
Working with Helene Stelian:Location Scout
This member would research and add onto our current list of possible venue rentals in the city of Chicago for TTN events, including details like cost, capacity, AV equipment, etc. Ideas from current members would be funneled to the Location Scout. Requires good organizational skills and basic Internet research
We expect these functions would require about 2-3 hours per week each, maybe less (maybe more at times). If you have the skills set and the time, we’d love to have you help us grow our chapter. Please email Kimberly Mulcahy at ChicagoChapter@TheTransitionNetwork.org if you are interested in helping and she will connect you with the right Steering Committee Member.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
