Volunteers who work for 2 hours will receive a day pass to the conference as thanks. Look at the opportunities listed below to find the perfect opportunity for helping out, whether around your class schedule, a way to get a day pass, or just to do your part toward putting on conferences like this one! We thank you in advance for your willingness to help out. HOW TO VOLUNTEER If you are interested in volunteering for any of these jobs, send an email to CNCH2014Volunteers@gmail.com (CNCH2014Volunteers @ gmail.com) indicating what you are interested in doing.

We will respond, letting you know that you have been listed for the job you requested and we will indicate on the chart that the job is filled by listing only your initials and your Guild name. The list of volunteer opportunities is a work in progress! If you don’t see the exact job you wanted, check back. Some categories have not been listed and others may change. TICKET TAKERS – Check badges and take tickets at the main entrance to the conference. Please indicate when you volunteer when you are available.
