The FWATA Convention Committee would like to thank all past and future volunteers for their time and consideration.  The FWATA Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposium would not be possible without the generosity and service leadership of our members! 

FWATA AMCS volunteer shift times range from 2 hours or more, in a variety of capacities. Volunteers can sign-up for areas that interest them.  Students and early professionals, this is a great way to network! Areas of need may include:

• Registration/check-in, session check-in, special event prep/set-up, session break-down, presentation room assistant, etc.

If you are interested in being an On-site Volunteer, please complete this Google Form (https://bit.ly/D8AMCSvolunteers) and/or be sure to let us know when you complete the conference registration process (there will be a registration question to ask attendees if they are interested in volunteering).  The FWATA Convention Committee will reach out to all interested volunteers with more information ASAP.

All volunteers must be registered attendees.  Unfortunately, FWATA does not provide compensation or discounted registration for volunteering.  Your time and consideration is greatly appreciated.
