The Literacy and Learning Day Society of Edmonton is currently seeking service volunteers to help our society and assist us in running our 10th Anniversary Literacy and Learning Day annual conference. The 2012 conference is being held at the Edmonton Expo Centre at Northlands, on Saturday, April 14, 2012. Some positions only require a couple of hours of your time, either in advance of the conference, or on that day, and will allow you to attend the workshops you choose.
If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please register online as a volunteer!
For further information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator or any member of our organizing committee.
Although a couple of our key "Coordinator" positions are filled, we are looking for someone to assist with the Presenter Coordinator, Technology Coordinator and Volunteer Coordinator positions! If you are interested in volunteering to help us organize this years' conference, in a small or large capacity, we would love to have you! Please send us an email, and we'll send you the details of what we need help with, the next meeting location, or contact information for the Coordinator you would be working with! EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
