Committees |
| ScholarshipThe Scholarship Committee establishes, maintains, promotes, grows and awards our scholarships. The committee also works closely with many other IllinoisLLAA committees and members, as its purpose is tightly correlated with the core foundation of our purpose. |
 | FundraisingThe Fundraising Committee creates and coordinates all fundraising activities, develop methods for supplementing dues-related income, and execute at least one fundraising event every quarter. From Sox games and Facebook fundraisers to Salsa Happy Hours and Comedy shows, they operate to have fun for a cause. |
| ProgrammingThe Programming Committee implements networking and fellowship activities for our members, UIUC students and their families and UIUC staff. The Membership Committee works to achieve sustainable growth for IllinoisLLAA by increasing and retaining professional, student and associate members. Additionally, this committee’s mandate is to facilitate within existing members a sense of belonging and engagement, and – working with other relevant committees as assigned by the Board of Directors – to provide opportunities for members to contribute to IllinoisLLAA substantively, not just financially. Furthermore, the Membership/Recruitment Committee will advocate on behalf of IllinoisLLAA to generate public support and awareness for the organization and its goals. |
