Volunteer to be a Session Manager.
Intellectual Property Conference
September 26-27, 2019

Here’s what a few session managers have said:

ALA has given me the opportunity to volunteer as a session manager for several years now and, an opportunity to grow as a speaker myself. I’ve learned self-assurance, self-confidence and gained lots of courage! Because I’ve been willing to be in front of the room, I’ve met more members from around the country which has led to friendships and contacts from other states - something that would have never happened otherwise. Laura Whipple, Adams Stirling

I try to volunteer as a session manager at any conference I attend. ALA always needs people to run the meetings and anyone can be a session manager. I have also made lasting friendships with some of our speakers in the process.  It’s a great way to help out. Stephen C. Wolf, CPA, CLM, Deutsch Kerrigan, L.L.P.
