We are looking for committed volunteers to help us manage the ACSO Conference in Los Angeles, July 20-22. Volunteers will be assigned to a specific task either at the registration desk, as a room monitor, a guide for delegates etc. Volunteers who commit at least 4 hours of volunteer hours over the course of the event will receive 50% off registration and volunteers who commit at least 8 hours will receive complimentary registration.* You are welcome to attend the entire conference when you are not working.

Volunteer applications will be reviewed and volunteers notified no later than July 9, 2017. Shifts will be assigned based upon availability provided in the application. 

*Ticketed events are not included and must be paid for in full.

Available volunteer roles include:

AWARDS BREAKFAST VOLUNTEER
Assist with various tasks in setting up the awards luncheon and collecting luncheon tickets.

CITY GUIDES

Assist with moving delegates from event to event including direction pointing between venues. Volunteers will have maps and schedules to be able to help guide delegates, but would need to think and communicate quickly to help delegates during tight transition periods.

DONOR TABLE VOLUNTEER
Meet and welcome delegates,  distribute thank you gifts in exchange for donations, and support ACSO staff with the conference silent auction. This is a good place for volunteers who enjoy interacting with people, are organized and articulate, don’t mind talking about fundraising, and would like to stay in one place.

GENERAL VOLUNTEERS AND FLOATERS
Duties may include running errands, making copies, assisting with sessions/events, taking equipment and/or materials to various rooms, providing general information to conference delegates, and other office tasks. This would be good for active volunteers who are good at being flexible and accomplishing specific tasks in a time-sensitive manner.

REGISTRATION VOLUNTEERS
Meet and welcome delegates and distribute conference programs and materials; provide general information about the conference to delegates and assist with various tasks throughout the conference. This is a good place for volunteers who enjoy interacting with people and would like to stay in one place.

SESSION MONITORS
Assist staff session managers, speakers, and conferees with conference plenary or breakout sessions. This is a good place for volunteers with some basic event management or support experience—they should be comfortable working with staff members and speakers, able to troubleshoot when necessary, and provide general customer support for conference conferees.
