The Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Professionals is a member-driven organization. We rely on our members to volunteer and support the growth of the organization and profession through serving on our committees and sections.
Volunteering is a great way to grow your network and to serve the environmental professionals community. It is also a great way to gain new insight into the profession and learn more about the association. You will have the chance to work up close and personal with many leaders in the field.
If you would like to volunteer, you can learn more by checking out our committees and sections pages and contacting the PAEP business office to relay your interest(s).
