Committee Involvement
Our network is powered by passionate event professionals who are willing to share their ideas, expertise, and energy—and we’d love to have you be part of it.
Joining a committee is a great way to:
Connect with event professionals across the CSU and UC systems
Share ideas and bring your unique perspective to the network
Shape the future of CSU+UC EPN and help create new opportunities for our members
Build relationships with colleagues and industry partners
Grow professionally while giving back to our event community
Whether you’re interested in professional development, communications, membership, conferences, or other initiatives, there’s an opportunity to get involved and make an impact.
You bring the ideas. We’ll build the network together.
