Our committees
As a member of VSA you get to join all our events, but there’s even more fun to be had! As an active member you get to join one of the many committees which organize our events or run other aspects of the association. About four times each year, active members get to join a special (team building) event organised by the board and at the end of the year, each committee gets budget to organise a final ‘thank you’ event for their year of work. Next to this, joining a committee is also a great way to develop skills and it is a worhty addition to your resume (cv)!
You are always welcome to take a look at a committee meeting before deciding whether to join a committee. You can fill in our contact form or contact a board member.
