Me! Me! Pick Me! (Eval review #1)

A response on the 2007 evaluation: "We need more opportunities to volunteer on site."

Done and done! This is actually one of my favorite things to report, and I'm so, so excited to see how it plays out.

For the first time we were able to provide AFA members an opportunity to assist with the meeting in Denver in a done-in-a-day AFA volunteer role. With the regular volunteer interest cycle, a new interest form was added for members to select how they would like to help during the Annual Meeting. Eighty-six members completed interest forms.

Kara Miller, incoming AM chair, oversaw the process and matched those who showed interest with the needs of each Annual Meeting committee. These one-time volunteers will fill roles from case study judges, to connection captains for first timers, to greeters and floaters. This year, we were able to place every member who wanted to volunteer at the meeting.

Because it's year one of this project, we know there will be great opportunities to collect feedback about the process and the experience. Thank you to all of the members who are giving their time to help make the meeting that much better. Welcome to TEAM DENVER!

Interested in being an AFA volunteer? Appointments for standing committees or positions for 2009 were made in late-September, but the Involvement Form is available year-round. Just note that forms submitted by September 5, 2008 were given priority consideration for appointments in 2009.
