AFP-CNY relies on a network of volunteers who are the power behind our work. Any active chapter member can support our work by serving as a committee member or board member.
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering with AFP-CNY is a great way to share your talent and build relationships with fellow industry colleagues. It can also act as a catalyst for your own career growth that contributes to both your personal and professional development while further promoting, highlighting, and advancing our profession. Your committee volunteer work can also be added to your resume.
