Free Attendance
You can attend the telephone seminar of your choice for free if you help us by volunteering a couple of hours of your time to help coordinate it.
We're looking for a few volunteers to coordinate the chapter-subsidized telephone seminars. As a telephone seminar coordinator, you would act as a point person for the seminar(s) of your choice to help with the publicity and logistics of the seminar. As a volunteer, you would be able to attend your seminar for free.
Your duties would involve the following.
- Send announcement
e-mail to members on the chapter email list.
- Create
and maintain the list of attendees. (If we don't get at least five paying
people signed up, your commitment ends with this step.)
- Identify a location for the seminar.
- A couple of days before the seminar, send a reminder email to all attendees.
- Attend your seminar for free.
The total time commitment will be up to four hours per seminar. You can volunteer for as many or as few seminars as you like. Check the Telephone Seminar page on our local STC chapter Web site, and contact Michelle Petersen to sign up to volunteer.
