There will be many opportunities to contribute!

We are currently looking for volunteers to work on and chair the Outreach Committee and the Local Arrangements Committee.

The Outreach Committee develops an outreach plan for the conference and workshops with other major committees to promote the conference to sponsors, exhibitors, vendors, students, and attendees. This is a very important committee and work on the outreach plan begins about now! Marketing and promotion experience is preferred for chair position.

The Local Arrangements Committee works with the Conference Coordinator and oversees San Diego contracts and venue arrangements and subcommittees, including Audio Visual Subcommittee, Local Information Subommittee, and Catering Subcommittee.

Contact Josie Crawford at jcrawfordcnps.org, if you are interested in participating on either of these or other committees.
