It's Not Too Late to Help!

ANNUAL MEETING AMBASSADORS.

Are you interested in giving back to the Association? Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at the Annual Meeting? Want to serve in a volunteer role in Jacksonville? If you answered yes to any of these questions, make sure to check out the 2009 Annual Meeting Ambassador volunteer positions.

What is an Annual Meeting Ambassador? This role began in 2008 at the Annual Meeting in Denver and will continue in 2009 under its new name. This position is an on-site volunteer who performs a specific role while at the Annual Meeting. Each Annual Meeting committee has an additional need for help while in Jacksonville. Read about the volunteer job descriptions and apply for the opportunity here.

What will I be doing? Depending on the committee which we will match you to, you might be introducing presenters, reviewing resumes, serving as a Graduate Staff mentor, or judging the Order of Omega case study competition. Being an Annual Meeting Ambassador is a great way to give back to the Association, and I certainly encourage you to fill out a form!

Please note:

• There are 50 volunteer Ambassador positions available so applications are subject to a review process. Priority is given to applications completed by September 4, 2009.
• You must attend and register for the 2009 Annual Meeting in Jacksonville to participate.
• This process is different from the 2010 AFA Volunteer process. You should also complete that form if you would like to be a volunteer for the Association in 2010, including Annual Meeting Planning Team committee member or Coordinator.
• Ambassadors will be notified of their acceptance in October.
• The typical commitment is 3-5 hours during the Annual Meeting. Read the job descriptions for more particulars.
