SEA is run entirely by volunteers, and we are always looking for new people to help. Any members who are interested in volunteering can contact SEA@shanghaisea.com.

​

SEA is comprised of the following committees:

​

Day Trips: they typically plan two trips per month in and around Shanghai.

​

Hospitality: they are responsible for coordinating monthly coffee mornings and working with the vendors who display at some of these events.

​

Luncheons: they typically plan one lunch per month at great restaurants around Shanghai, in addition to other special events such as the holiday party, end-of-year party, and welcome back event.

​

Membership: they are responsible for signing up new members, and handling renewals.

​

Welcome Chat (Formerly Newcomers): they plan a reception each month to help welcome new members and people who are new to Shanghai.

​

Small Groups: they coordinate a variety of groups, such as weekly mahjong and biking trips around the city.

​

Special Events: they plan 20-30 events per month around Shanghai, such as cooking classes, crafting classes, and visits to museums.

​

Travel: they plan 6-9 trips per year to places such as Harbin, Guilin, and Yangzhou.

​

Advertising: they work with local vendors to obtain discounts for our members.

​
