  • Scholarship—Coordinate the solicitation and appointment of scholarship winners.
  • Communications—Actively involved in keeping the website and newsletter updated and informing members of upcoming events.
  • Finance—Help the division allocate and solicit funds for future events and conferences.
  • Membership—Help inform new industry professionals of the division’s activities and actively solicit new participation.
  • Nominations—Help identify industry professionals that have the potential to serve as an DESD officer or executive committee member.
