Conference Registration: Includes welcoming attendees, handing out conference materials, and fielding general conference questions.
Presentation Facilitators: Includes introducing the speaker/panel, timekeeping, and assisting the speaker as needed.
Please let us know on your registration form, if you would like to assist by being a volunteer!
