Volunteering

SALGBA is dedicated to providing professional educational and networking opportunities to the public sector benefits industry, including public sector benefits professionals and those who provide services. To accomplish this, it requires input and support from SALGBA members. One way to make sure your membership is most beneficial is to participate on a committee so you can provide direct input and feedback. Volunteers are what makes SALGBA and keeps SALGBA going!!

Below is a list and description for each SALGBA committee and a brief online submission form for volunteers to complete. Please review the committees and once you decide the committee on which you are interested in serving, complete the form. Your information will be sent to the appropriate committee chair who will follow up with you.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Tina Bowling, Executive Director at 888.623.8676 or email her.
