Here is your chance to volunteer to help.
Whether you would like to work as a volunteer
to help reduce your registration fee (reduced
registrations are limited) or simply to
make a contribution to your association,
you can help make this an amazing event.
For those volunteers making significant
commitments (typically one half day volunteer/one
half day registration in exchange, positions
are available. Priority for the reduced
registration positions is provided to members
of the ACA, Southeastern Local Chapter.
Most volunteers simply like to be involved
as both an attendee and a contributor
in some way. The cross section and volume
of volunteers enriches the event. A list
of key areas with brief descriptions follows.
Keep in mind the needs for the Conference
remain fluid. We never turn good help away!
The Process
We seek volunteers who can commit ahead, and will welcome those who wait until
they arrive on site. You may volunteer online at: www.acacamps.org/conference/volunteerform.php.
Assignments will be confirmed back to you prior to the conference. On site,
you may check opportunities in one of two locations – the Speaker/Session
counter and the Hospitality Desk.
Hospitality
Hospitality and community
building are hallmarks of the National
Conference. There are opportunities both
before the conference and during for hospitality
volunteers. Assignments may include Airport
Hospitality on Tuesday, February 17, during
the heaviest arrival times, 10 a.m. -
2 p.m., directing attendees in the Disney’s
Coronado Springs Resort, staffing
the Hospitality Area, welcoming Kindred
and Affiliate participants, and other
tasks.
Registration
During heavy time blocks, and essentially all day Tuesday, two to three volunteers
are needed to work registration, along side ACA staff. Volunteer hours are
expected to be: Tuesday, from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Wednesday from 7:30
a.m. - 5 p.m.
ACA Bookstore – Healthy Learning
ACA will host a bookstore with its publishing partner, Healthy Learning. One
to two volunteers, during set up, tear down, and hours of operation will help
connect attendees to the books they want to buy. Volunteers will also help
immensely with book signing events and meet the author sessions. Attendees
familiar with ACA titles are preferred.
ACA Concert Event
This event is in the
formative stages and is anticipated to
take place on Wednesday night. As information
becomes available from the Conference Team,
we’ll add information on this page.
Education Session Room Hosts
We have numerous slots to fill in this area. This is an assignment for
volunteers comfortable interacting with audiences and presenters. As a
host, you will help with handouts, evaluations, introductions and in some cases,
will assist speakers in the question and answer period. This is a great volunteer
option for those who wish to take advantage of education sessions. You can volunteer
for the sessions you need, from an educational standpoint.
Keynote Session Assistance
Four keynote
events are offered. Volunteers help usher,
aide Conference Team members, chaperone
entertainers, set out special event items,
and perform a variety of miscellaneous
tasks.
