SAEC Officer Requirements

Silicon Alley Entrepreneurs Club (SAEC) is the fastest growing and largest of its kind organization in the country. SAEC has grown from 250 members in January 2001 to 2600+ now and still growing. Our members are philanthropic technology/media professionals who help each other to grow existing business and create new ones. SAEC's first Mega-Event on May 8th was attended by more than 250 CEO's, investors and founders of NY-Tri state area. SAEC provides everything FREE.

REQUIREMENTS: SAEC officers are highly successful professionals who takes up these additional responsibility just for one thing: to help others accomplish what they have already done for themselves and they do it FREE. We need people who; believe in our vision, have the highest moral and ethical standards, philanthropic by nature, a great deal of experience in the related position, and who is willing to work during and after his/her regular jobs to help others. The positions are honorary and offer absolutely NO financial compensation what so ever. The officers pay their own bills and expenses, if incurred related to SAEC's business.

We run the business of the club just like any competitive for profit corporation. The officer will be obliged to fulfill his/her duty just like they would do in any paid job. The positions are highly demanding right now as we are growing and expanding at very fast pace.

TENURE: As most of our officers hold highly demanding full-time positions, we don't expect any officer to make a long-term commitment. An officer can be excused from his/her duties as soon as we find an alternative person to take on the responsibility soon after the notification. However, we would expect, that you make sure you have the time and resource to dedicate for the position at least for a period of six month. Because of the nature of the positions we'll accept and consider resumes round the year, even if the position is currently filled. So if and when a position becomes available we can immediately contact you.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS: Most of our officers do it for personal satisfaction. Our officers receive a great deal of recognition from the movers and shakers in their respective fields. The positions are no different than what one would encounter in a real paid job. Actually, these are more challenging than most paid jobs. How hard it is, to do a marketing and promotion without a budget¡¦? If you can do this and be successful, you can pretty much do anything. You get the idea.
