Volunteering
Like every Annual Meeting, this convention will be powered by our volunteers, who we will rely on to ensure registration, voting, and all of our events run smoothly. Without them, it would not be possible to have the fantastic weekend we are all anticipating.
By sparing just a couple of hours to help out during the Annual Meeting, you’ll make a huge impact on our ability to move our party forward.
