FAQs:

How much time does it take?
Answer: Minimally a couple of hours a month, some volunteers put in more. We have planning meetings, often by video conference. There are some sub-committees for additional focused work as needed, like Media, Studio Crawl and Bylaws.

What does an AES San Francisco Committee Member do?
Answer: We ask everyone to plan at least one presentation a year, although collaborating on other meetings is helpful. There are varied duties to putting together a meeting, from selecting a topic/speaker, lining up a venue, emailing invites to our lists, social media, picking up meeting snacks and conducting the meeting. Often we divide these duties up, so most meetings are a team production.

Who can run for the AES Committee?
Answer: AES Members. All of our events are planned and produced by this team of volunteers. It’s a great way to be in the loop for networking and local audio industry information.  Look at the past events they have produced over the years here.
