Then let me know what areas of the convention planning process you’re interested in volunteering, and we will find a place for you on the team. The range of responsibilities is vast--everything from coordinating with sponsors and managing meals to managing the convention floor and helping with creating a good guest experience and everything in between.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you were on the committee previously or have already reached out, please reach out again so that my data is fresh. If you want to volunteer but not feeling sure about where you want to be assigned, reach out anyway. We’ll talk through the best position for you. If you want to lend a hand but feel concerned about not being able to move around the hotel, I assure you there is a spot for you on my team. Whether it’s at the affiliate level or as part of our host chapter team, we’ll coordinate to get you plugged into the right assignments.
