Call for Conference Volunteers!

The TASH Annual Conference is already a great value. But if you want to stretch your conference dollars even more, share some of the work with us and we’ll help with some of your expense!

We make it even easier for you to attend the TASH Conference! Just volunteer 7 hours and you’ll receive FREE conference registration (an $84-$429 value depending on your registration category).

When you think TASH conference volunteer, think interesting, stimulating and fun! That’s because many of the conference volunteer assignments involve one-on-one interaction with other attendees, presenters and exhibitors. Whether you volunteer to assist keynote speakers at the General Session, help set up the exhibit hall, or assist attendees in getting registration packets and other handouts, you will enjoy the time that you spend as a TASH conference volunteer.

We have volunteer tasks and times to fit almost any schedule. There are even pre-conference volunteer assignments available in case you arrive in Baltimore a little early.

Don’t delay! Volunteer assignments are made on a first come, first served basis. Volunteer information is available below or call 410-828-8274 to request material by mail.
