Helpers Wanted
The first year I went to ASA’s On Aging conference, I signed up to be a volunteer. Not only did it get me a discounted rate, it also introduced me immediately to some movers and shakers and other interesting people in the field.
My job was helping people find the rooms they needed—which led to dozens of interesting conversations. It was wonderful.
ASA is currently recruiting volunteers for this year’s conference. There’s some training ahead of time, and the commitment is 6 hours onsite. If you haven’t signed up yet, I highly recommend it!
