The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) relies on volunteers at all levels of the Association for direction, goal-setting and governance. Whether you are looking to help the CE industry by developing CEA initiatives, creating industry technology standards or influencing legislation, there are many reasons to volunteer in one of CEAs working groups, committees, councils and boards.

Hear directly from your peers on why they volunteer.

CEA members may review the Call for Volunteers to learn about the division and council boards, organizational activities, and other projects where their industry experience would be valued.

You can nominate yourself or a colleague for a board position or simply volunteer your time via open volunteering opportunities. These ad hoc opportunities allow you to engage throughout the year as your schedule permits on a project-by-project basis in activities such as:

· Brainstorming market research studies,

· Advising on industry promotion campaigns,

· Writing newsletter articles,

· Participating in virtual communities,

· Reviewing consumer education materials,

· and more.

CEA welcomes volunteers for opportunities outside of the division/council structure such as Technology & Standards and Government Affairs. Those groups focus on industry-wide topics related to standards or policy. Another great way to get involved throughout the year is by attending CEA events.

We welcome your expertise, experience and enthusiasm to our active and talented group of volunteers and hope to include you in our 2009-10 volunteer activities.
