Volunteer

Hosting a convention requires a lot of help from many volunteers. The 2005 AVA Biennial Convention Committee needs volunteers for the following Convention activities:

• Information table at convention hotel - Answer volkssporter questions and provide information on the Cherry Hill area.


• Silent Auction Room - Ensure donated item forms are completed accurately, prepare donated items for display, monitor Silent Auction Room during open hours, prepare and process sales receipts for purchased items.


• Live Auction - Assist at live auction activities at business sessions or socials.


• Registration booth - Hand out goodie bags to people registered for the convention. Also need folks to stuff the goodie bags sometime on Monday.


• Workshops - Prepare room for speakers, introduce speakers, take attendance, and distribute workshop evaluation forms.


• Ticket takers/Badge Checkers for social events and meals - Ensure that only people who have paid for the event/meal are let into the event/get the meal.


• Exhibits - Ensure that only people who have registered for the Convention are let into the Exhibit Hall. Ensure that only authorized exhibitors are let into the Exhibit Hall when it is closed.


• General Session Tellers - Each Regional Director is responsible for appointing a teller. If you would like to volunteer to be a Teller, contact your RD.

If you would like to help with any of the above volunteer positions, visit our convention volunteer form.
