Membership

The Membership/Volunteers Committee promotes new and renewal memberships. We maintain a database of members including their experience, skills and interests to help us match members with the best volunteer opportunities. We ensure our communications systems are up to date with our active members, so they receive communications about WAMMC events and activities. We host events to welcome and introduce new members to current members to build an inclusive and collaborative culture. We help the committees find volunteers with strong organizational, management, interpersonal, networking and technology skills. If you have plenty of enthusiasm for sharing ideas, rolling up your sleeves and working with a team of extremely capable and smart people then join us to make a significant impact on the WAMMC community.

Mansion in May
Mansion in May is the preeminent fundraising event of the Women's Association for Morristown Medical Center. During Mansion years, the designer showhouse is open everyday in May. The event includes boutiques, gardens, designer sales and a café just to name a few. We call upon over 1,000 volunteers in the months leading up to a Mansion but especially during the daily business hours of the Mansion in the month of May. We will be looking for committee chairs beginning in the Fall before a Mansion year.

Event Fundraisers
In off-Mansion in May years, WAMMC organizes events which require a variety of different volunteers leading up to the event and day of the event. We welcome people with the ability to organize and manage all aspects of a special event, including décor, menu, entertainment, publicity and design work and food and beverage offerings. As in other events, the money raised will be targeted to a specific cause to support Morristown Medical Center.
