This month, the Conference Committee is in need of volunteers to help the 2013 Annual Conference to run smoothly. There are several different volunteer roles available:

Session Hosts - this is a great volunteer opportunity for someone new to prospect research! Responsibilities include:

Arrive at the session room 15 minutes prior to its start time
Confirm that the speaker is present
Check the room to see that speaker's AV requirements have been met
Ensure that the speaker's general needs are met (for example, that they have water)
Offer to keep time for the speaker (10 minute warning)
Hand out any session materials not available online before the conference that speakers have made available
Notify NEDRA Conference staff of any problems
Introduce speaker (if you choose)
Present speaker with thank-you gift

If you are interested in helping out as a Session Host or have questions, please contact Tina Tong at tina.tong@tufts.edu or (617) 627-3426.

Roundtable Host

This is a great way to get to know your research colleagues from other institutions and discuss important topics and issues that researchers face every day. The Roundtable discussions will take place on Tuesday afternoon during lunch. Hosts are not required to bring anything--they are there to help drive and navigate the discussion surrounding a specific subject. Topics in the past have included international research, the economy, partnering with fundraisers and prospect identification. Suggestions for topics are always welcome!

If you are interested in helping out as a Roundtable Host or have questions, please contact Suzanne Milauskas at smilauskas@bentley.edu or (781) 891-2683.

Dinner Hosts for Monday Night
Know a great place for dinner in Cambridge? Want to dine with colleagues from other organizations? NEDRA is looking for several people to serve as dinner hosts on Monday night. At least one group will dine at a restaurant with excellent options and protocols for guests with allergies. Hosts pre-select the restaurant, make reservations, and provide directions.

If you are interested in serving as a Dinner Host, please contact the NEDRA Office at office@NEDRA.org or (781) 894-1457.
