ABJ30 Members and Friends,
Call to arms (or buttons) - please consider joining the Ambassador Program at TRB 2011 - sounds like fun and new attendees REALLY need your help!!! Hope to see everyone with buttons on!!!!
Regards,
Kate
***************************************************************************
TRB is arranging its annual Ambassador Program at the Hilton Hotel for the 2011 Annual Meeting. The program is designed to assist first-time attendees (and/or others) who feel overwhelmed and uncertain how to most effectively participate in the meeting. The program details are explained below.
We are seeking about 60 volunteers to serve as Ambassadors. Each person will staff the Ambassador table for two hours and wear an "Ask Me! I'm a TRB Ambassador" button. We ask that during the remainder of the meeting you continue to wear the button to identify yourself as an additional resource for first-time attendees or others seeking information about TRB or the meeting.
TRB staff will provide each Ambassador with a button and a limited amount of background material. There will also be information at the Ambassador table to help respond to questions. The table will be located close to TRB Registration area at the Hilton Hotel. Please try to identify two hours of your time that you could volunteer - This program has become an important part of the Annual Meeting and we need your help to assure it is a success again this year! Those who have served as Ambassadors in the past have found this a fun and rewarding way to participate in the Annual Meeting and to help the new attendees.
People willing to participate for a two hour slot during one of the following sessions should e-mail their availability to Bonnie Duke at B-Duke(a)tamu.edu<mailto:B-Duke@tamu.edu> by Tuesday, January 18. Bonnie will follow up with a schedule confirmation and information about where to pick up "Ambassador" materials.
