TICKET TAKERS
Would you be willing to help out and be a ticket taker for Conference sessions? The duties of a ticket taker are simple but essential and can easily be handled with a baby in a carrier. Volunteering will usually assure you your first choice of sessions. Be sure to mark the sessions for which you are willing to be a ticket taker on your Registration Form.
We have many items donated by our exhibitors. Each registrant will receive one drawing ticket. Additional tickets will be given to those registrants making a donation to the Leader Conference Education Fund. This fund helps Leaders whose group cannot financially help them attend the Area Conference. Your donation helps breastfeeding mothers to receive current information and support!
