Committees

Christmas 4 kids

Christmas 4 Kids is an organization that pairs businesses, organizations, clubs, and individuals with needy families in the Madison community. Participants provide the family with the presents and enjoyment of gift giving that they might have been unable to provide this season. We need people to help shop for gifts as well as help wrap them. If you are interested in helping, contact Colleen at cmatakpu@wisc.edu

Christmas Party at the YWCA

We are organizing a Christmas party for some of the kids who live at the YWCA shelter. The party will entail crafts & games as well as gift giving. Tentative dates for the party are Friday, December 10 th or Friday, December 17 th . If you would be interested in volunteering on either of these days e-mail Courtney at wbess_president@yahoo.com and let her know which day works best for you.

Banquet Committee

The purpuse of this committee is to showcase what NSBE/WBESS has accomplished during the year. It is also a way to thank corporate sponsors and network in a more intimate setting.

Fundraising Committee

NSBE/WBESS fundraising committee's primary goal is raising money for its members. This includes brainstorming creative and innovative fundraising ideas and being responsible for the organization and preparation of fundraising events. This is one of the most important WBESS committees. Money is needed to provide food for meetings, social events for members, and to cover Fall Regional and National Conferences costs (just to name a few). A major goal set for the fundraising committee is to hold one major fundraising event during the Spring Semester. If this committee is as good as I think it will be, hopefully this event will become an annual fundraising event. Another fundraising opportunity would be to work at either Badger football or basketball games (security, parking, taking tickets, checking bags, concession stands, etc.) If you want to help WBESS in a much needed area, this is the committee for you. All ideas and members are welcomed with no questions asked!
