Getting Involved
Q. How do I get on a committee?
A. Thanks for your interest! Send an email to the current SMPS Colorado Membership Chair (contact info located in “About Us” “Board of Directors” at www.smpscolorado.org). They will work to find the perfect committee fit. If your first choice of committee is full, we hope you will choose another one. You can also get involved without joining a committee and instead by pitching in on event-by-event basis.
Q: How does my firm become a chapter sponsor, or sponsor an event or program?
A: Visit the “Sponsorship” section of the www.smpscolorado.org for more details. Or contact the current SMPS Colorado Sponsorship Chair (contact info located in “About Us” “Board of Directors” at www.smpscolorado.org).
Q: How do I suggest topics for upcoming programs or educational events?
A: The easiest way to provide feedback or suggestions is by completing post event surveys (sent after you attend an event) and membership surveys (sent 6 months prior to your membership expiration). We listen to your feedback! Or if you would like to personally reach out to someone with a suggestion, feel free to contact any of our board members located in “About Us” “Board of Directors” at www.smpscolorado.org
