One of the many wonderful aspects of the Impact100 model is that members design their own experiences within this all-volunteer organization. You can simply cast your vote at the annual meeting. Or you can volunteer your time and expertise in a myriad of ways. The list below is a summary of needs.

If you would like to volunteer in any way, simply contact membership@impact100eastbay.org. We also have an event in January of each year for all members who would like to volunteer to learn about these positions and sign-up! It will be posted on our events section or will be an email with registration information.

Help us grow!

Educating others about Impact100 East Bay and our mission is a year-round task and members are our best ambassadors! Invite us to come speak or do a Q and A at your book club, or mom’s group or a neighborhood get-together. Forward our monthly newsletter to friends and colleagues. Communicate our message through social media. We are only as powerful as the women who join us – you can help us reach those women who haven’t yet heard of us!
