Volunteer for a job at the Convention:

There are lots of opportunities to volunteer at the convention. Here are some of the jobs that need to be filled.

a. Hospitality:

The Hospitality Chairperson will depend on you to be one of the happy folks welcoming our guests when they arrive to check-in, helping attendees get where they need to go, answering questions and getting them to the right people if they need further assistance. Additionally, you might be making sure all attendees have a valid badge, taking tickets at the Saturday night dinner or at the dock for the Sober Cruise and helping in any other ways needed throughout the weekend. Please use the form in the sidebar to let us know you’d like to volunteer!

b. Check In Team:

The Check-In Team needs a group of volunteers to staff the check-in tables. The Team welcomes preregistered participants and gives them their convention materials and information. You need to be able to deal tactfully with all sorts of people in a cheerful, helpful and efficient manner. Experience and grace under pressure is also helpful. Please use the form in the sidebar to let us know you’d like to volunteer!

c. Literature and Merchandise Sales Force:

We need both AA’s and Al-Anon’s to help us. It will be especially useful if you have a good knowledge of our program literature and some experience making change and keeping records of sold merchandise.

The literature and merchandise tables will be open at specific times only. The hours will be posted. Tables will be closed during the speaker presentations and during meetings on Saturday. Please use the form in the sidebar to let us know you’d like to volunteer!

d. “At Large” Volunteers:

“At Large” volunteers go everywhere and do everything.

You might fill in for someone who needs a break, help out at the check-in, merchandise or literature tables, greet guests or check name badges at the doors of our convention venues.

If you’re flexible and love variety, sign up to be one of our “At Large” volunteers. Don’t use the volunteer form to volunteer for this job. Instead, go to the “At Large” sign at the convention check-in.

e. Lead one of our one-hour meetings (AA, Al-Anon, LGBT):

Most folks with the six months’ required time have done this many times already. Help your fellow attendees out by signing up for an hour timeslot, to pick a topic, and keep our meetings going! All you have to do is:

• Have led a meeting so you know how.
• Be there 15 min early to set up; straighten up before you leave.
• Open and close on time (the meeting will be 1hr).
• Fill out and turn in the Comment Form after the Meeting.

Meetings are an important part of our conference. You can make a difference by volunteering to lead a meeting!

Spread the word in your home group
