Rail~Volution 2011: Call for volunteers

Rail~Volution is coming and we need your help!

Rail~Volution DC, the nation’s premier conference on livable communities, will be held in Washington, DC on October 16-19. Youcan play a critical part in making Rail~Volution DC a success.
Sign up today to serve as a Rail~Volution volunteer.

Volunteers are needed for each day of the conference and on Saturday, October 15th to assist with conference setup. You can volunteer for just a couple hours, for a full day, or more – it’s up to you. A limited number of full and partial scholarships may be available for volunteers who can serve at least 8 hours.

When: Saturday October 15 – Wednesday October 19. The times volunteers are needed vary but are generally 3:30 PM to 7:30 PM on Saturday 10/15, 7 AM – 9pm on Sunday 10/16, and 8am to 6pm on Monday, 10/17, Tuesday, 10/18, and Wednesday, 10/19. You can volunteer on any or all of these days for “shifts” of at least two hours. You can take as many shifts as you can handle.

Where: Most volunteer activities will be at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park hotel. Some volunteers will be needed at other conference-related events off-site.

What: Volunteer needs include assisting with conference set-up, staffing the welcome reception and registration desk, handing out materials to registrants, and helping guests find conference activities.

Sign up to volunteer for Rail~Volution DC by sending an email to railvolution2011@gmail.com and writing "Volunteer" in the subject line. If possible, please include the day(s) and times you are available. A volunteer orientation session will be held closer to the conference date to go over assignments and responsibilities.
