Volunteers for Conference Needed Volunteers are needed to help at the National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change on February 3-7, 2010 at the Sheraton Dallas. Volunteering with the conference is a great way to experience the work of the conference, both in sessions and behind the scenes, while getting to meet new people from your community and around the country. Volunteers will need to attend a one hour volunteer orientation/training on Sunday, Jan. 31. Training sessions begin at Noon and at the top of every hour until 6 PM. During orientation, volunteers will sign up for at least one four hour shift that will involve workshop room monitoring, registration and/or general office help. Those who fulfill their four hour shift at the conference will be able to attend the remainder of that day's conference program for free. There will also be a volunteer appreciation party on Sunday night, Feb. 7. Sign up to volunteer here. For more information about volunteering, email dawnacornelissen@gmail.com.
