Volunteers needed for the 2020 Southwest Florida Writers Conference

Volunteers are needed for the 2020 Southwest Florida Writers Conference
       
     The conference will be held, April 18, at the Port Charlotte Cultural Center in Port Charlotte, 2280 Aaron St, Port Charlotte, FL 33952. www.southwestfloridawritersconference.com


      Not registering for the conference? We could use your services as a volunteer. 
      The doors open for volunteers at 7 am. Check-in begins at 8 am and the first workshops begin at 9 am. 
- Room monitors - an opportunity to listen to all the workshops held in one of six workshops. Training will be given for room monitors on how to use the AV equipment. 
- Timekeepers - Keep things moving by keeping the attendees meeting the agents and local faculty on time in one to one sessions. 
- Check-in desk - check off attendees as they arrive and hand out the swag bags, name tags, and programs
- Agent transportation - pick up an agent from a local airport and bring them to their hotel. A great way to interact with an agent on a personal level someone attending the conference, or a room monitor. We will have to coordinate the agents' arrival and departure times with their transportation volunteers. They will also need transportation from the hotel to the cultural center. Lots of chat time with a NY agent.
 All volunteers will receive coffee in the morning, lunch and dinner and are welcome to stay and listen to the Keynote speaker as a thank you. contact Joanne Tailele - Joanne.tailele@gmail.com
