Volunteers for National Conference

Hello Everyone,

This is a call for Volunteers to help out at the Annual National Management Association Conference that will be held in San Diego this year from November 1st thru 3rd. Please visit the National website at http://nma1.us/conference08/ for more information on a conference itinerary.

Here is some general information for you concerning volunteers and the conference in November:

I know that volunteers will be asked to help sign people into the break-out sessions and for other areas in directing Conference goers to activity areas.
Volunteers will be able to go to some of the breakout sessions because they help out during the conference and that is great news. If you are interested in seeing what those break-out sessions are, please visit the NMA National website and look at what is being offered.
I know that some of the banquets where they have motivational and/or keynote speakers are going to be great. I think attending these might be possible on a case by case basis as long as you pay for the specific banquet. And this is strictly because of the cost of the food.
Being a volunteer is an excellent way to see the conference up close. And you may decide to participate in one of the luncheon/dinner events.

Please feel free to call me at x33913 or via email response to sign up to volunteer.

Thanks. Diana
