Welcome

Thank you for choosing to join the RQA Volunteer Programme. Volunteers play a huge and important role in the Association; they are integral to RQA's success.

There are a number of ways in which volunteers can support RQA activity:

•    Time-based; usually for Committee membership

•    Task-based; generally for single-task projects

•    Virtual; typically to promote RQA.

This approach allows Volunteers to choose to support RQA in a manner that suits the Volunteer without over-committing their time. The opportunities are endless.

The time-based Committee activities require a commitment of around 6-10 days per year which, when combined with project work, can entail a considerable obligation that only a small handful of RQA members are able to make.

Some one-off tasks,such as creating a podcast, should take no more than a couple of hours, whereas promoting RQA using social media is literally a few minutes each week.

I hope that you find your volunteer role to be fulfilling and rewarding. Please feel free to contact the RQA office with any queries or concerns.

Welcome, and thank you.
