Annual Meeting
Call for Student Volunteers
HFES invites full-time students to serve as student volunteers for the 54th Annual Meeting, September 27-October 1, in San Francisco. Student volunteers perform many essential functions and help to ensure that the Annual Meeting runs smoothly.
First preference will be given to HFES Student Affiliate members. Students applying to volunteer must preregister by August 16, 2010. Registration opens in late June. To volunteer, please send the following information to the e-mail address below:
|
- your contact information (including your full name and e-mail address);
- your first, second, and third choices from the list of key areas given below; and
- your anticipated date of arrival at and departure from the meeting.
Address requests to Director of Member Services Carlos de Falla, carlos@hfes.org.
You may request assignments in specific areas, and every effort will be made to ensure you receive your first or second choice. Volunteer positions are limited to about 50 slots and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Help is needed in the following key areas:
- Workshops (Monday, September 27)
- On-Site Career Center (September 28-30)
- Daily on-site newsletter (September 28-30)
- Poster sessions (September 28-October 1)
- Internet stations (September 27-October 1)
Assignments will be made and instructions sent prior to the meeting. A student volunteer room will be available at the headquarters hotel for checking assignments, networking with other students, and obtaining signatures for completed work.
Volunteer positions are based on need, and most are for four hours. Students who volunteer for four hours will be reimbursed half the student registration fee. Those who are assigned to eight hours of volunteer work will receive a reimbursement of the full student registration fee. Refunds are processed after the meeting.
