Areas seeking volunteers: Registration Committee (This list will be updated as additional needs are identified)
Skills needed: Varies by committee and project. If you have the indicated skills or are willing to develop them, please get in touch with the committee director indicated.
Time commitment: Below are listed only full committee positions, which require a greater time commitment than piecemeal volunteering (which we also encourage; just let us know if you're interested in volunteering for only a few hours or wish to contribute in a smaller way to one of the projects described). Some positions have steady work over several months. Other positions have peak periods when they will be busier than other times. Some positions only require work before the conference; some require work only at the conference; some involve both. Most will involve attendance at a few conference committee meetings plus Training Day. The job descriptions below are guidelines only, and could be flexible depending on what’s happening in other parts of the conference committee.
(Note: This page will be updated as the conference draws closer. If you don't see a job that interests you now, please check back later!)
