Want to volunteer and enhance your COMMON conference experience, but not sure where to begin?
Try becoming a Speaker Assistant. Volunteering as a Speaker Assistant is a commitment of only
one session at a time. Volunteer for as few or as many as you are comfortable with. A Speaker
Assistant performs several invaluable tasks:
Introduces the speaker
Works with the speaker and session monitor to assure
the session runs smoothly.
Do you have a fear of speaking in front of a group? Become a Speaker Assistant, improve your
confidence and see, after a while, how much easier it becomes to speak up at the weekly
department meeting.
If you have sessions you're going to attend anyway, why not volunteer as a Speaker Assistant
for those sessions? Become a part of the COMMON volunteer family, get to know at least one speaker
better and do it with a minimal commitment on your part.
To sign up as a Speaker Assistant at the next COMMON conference, you
can e-mail SPEX@common.org.
