This article is a call to SPS members to use their talents and ideas for the advancement of SP by becoming SPS volunteers. There are many opportunities, with varying levels of responsibility, for individuals to be involved in this way.

For example, one can be a local SPS activity organizer or Chapter chair, a reviewer of papers submitted to a journal/conference, an associate editor for a journal, a member of a workshop or conference organizing committee, a mentor to students and young professionals, a member of various SPS boards and committees, and more. There are also technical leadership opportunities, such as a role in a technical committee (TC), standards activities, Distinguished Lecturer (DL) and Distinguished Industry Speaker (DIS) positions, and liaisons and representatives who focus on specific areas of study within the SP field. Our Society is international—all of these volunteering activities help build interpersonal and multicultural skills.
