Calling All VolunteersArts Presenters depends on a small group of talented volunteers to ensure a successful conference each year. In addition to helping your membership association, volunteering is a great way to meet peers and colleagues you wouldn't normally get a chance to chat with. Want to volunteer but are not sure where your time is best served? These descriptions will help you get a better sense of our areas of greatest need. Credentials CommitteeVolunteers on the Credentials Committee help monitor the entrances of various conference functions to ensure that all attendees have the appropriate conference badges. By participating on this committee, you help Arts Presenters continue to provide the professional business atmosphere that our members have come to value. Mentoring CommitteeMentoring is a crucial element of the conference (and doesn't take much of your time). Mentors communicate with their assigned new colleagues before the conference and then join us at the New Colleagues Orientation in New York to meet with more first timers to participate in a roundtable discussion. Mentors help perpetuate the norms of collegiality, collaboration and continuous professional development in the field, allowing you to form relationships with the field's newest practitioners (or at least new to the conference) and assist peers in prioritizing materials and information. Conference Info DeskThe Conference Info Desk is a vital service at the conference. Located across from the registration desk and open during conference registration hours, the Conference Info Desk serves as an place for all things related to Arts Presenters, the conference, New York City and the Hilton Hotel. Help your colleagues find everything from the opening plenary to Brooklyn! |
