Overview:

The Alexander Graham Bell Association works globally to ensure that people who are deaf and hard of hearing can hear and talk. The Young Leaders Board is an AG Bell program that works to expand the visibility of AG Bell and the resources for young adults who are Deaf/HOH through networking events as well as to provide opportunities to develop new skills, take on leadership roles, and broaden their professional and social circles.

As an Events Committee Member, you will work to help plan and coordinate the board's events and activities, including Zoom hangouts, LOFT/LEAP meetups, events with local chapters, and volunteer/intern recognition party. Most importantly, you will help to develop social media content ideas that portray the event chair duties and ideas for general Deaf/HOH experience.

• Assist with marketing and promoting events to increase attendance and engagement.
