FAQs:

How much time does it take?
Answer: Minimally a couple of hours a month. Some volunteers put in more. We have planning meetings, typically via Zoom. There are some subcommittees 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 contribute to at least one presentation each year. 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. We often divide these duties, so most meetings are a team production.

Who can run for the AES Committee?
Answer: Any AES member, associate member, or student member can run for an officer or committee member position. 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.
