Volunteering with TILP
The Institute of Localisation Professionals is led by a manager and by a dedicated group of volunteers who generously offer their time, expertise and passion to make the organisation the vibrant professional development resource it is today. The benefits of volunteerism are clear:
- Develop your leadership skills
- Position yourself on the leading edge of workplace learning and performance
- Partner with professional peers with a broad variety of experiences
- Build enriching, rewarding relationships
- Support the advancement of the Localisation Industry
As well, active leadership in TILP makes a strong statement on your professional resume!
The Executive Board takes a unique approach to recruiting volunteer support for the organisation. Volunteerism is less about what the organisation needs, and more about what the volunteer’s needs are. We encourage all volunteers to identify and pursue their passion through their role. Find what interests you, what excites you, and chance are, it’s what you will be excellent at, and enjoy doing!
To aid you in identifying where your unique talents fit best, the numerous potential areas for volunteering are listed below. If you don’t find a focus area that leverages your skills, you are encouraged to contact the TILP officers to further discuss how your knowledge and abilities may benefit The Institute of Localisation Professionals.
