VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR DPS MEETING, OCTOBER 8-13
We will need between twenty and thirty volunteers to assist in running
the DPS meeting this year. Volunteer tasks include stuffing
registration folders with all of the materials to be handed out;
assisting with registration especially on Sunday evening and Monday
morning when most people arrive; checking badges to be sure
people are registered at the meeting room doors; assisting with A-V
in the lecture halls; helping in the cyber cafe and exhibit hall as
needed; assisting in the press room; and running errands of various
sorts. We will expect all volunteers to attend an orientation
session on Sunday afternoon, and be available for two days' service
out of the five days of the actual meeting. In return for service,
volunteers who are not presenting a paper will receive free
registration to attend all days of the meeting. We also
encourage volunteering among those who are giving papers. For them,
we offer a $100 reduction in registration fee. For student or
emeritus members, this amounts to free registration. Volunteers
will also receive a special color "volunteer" tee shirt with the
meeting graphic of the Mars Rover traffic jam, to be worn while
volunteering and yours to keep afterward.
To volunteer, please contact <angelle.tanner @ jpl.nasa.gov>
Angelle Tanner and/or < awharris @ spacescience.org>
