Volunteer opportunities come in many

help us move materials and assemble
conference bags during “stuffing day”
on Saturday, August 21.
Know your way around the conference
and love to meet new people? – Join
us to direct traffic at the registration
desk, greet attendees, direct them to
their workshop rooms and answer
conference-related questions.
Been involved with VPPPA for a while
and know your share about VPP? –
Volunteer some time at the VPPPA
Booth to answer questions about the
association, VPP and the conference.

your time when you are not attending
workshops? – Contact Carla Esteva at

opportunities at the 26th Annual

Here is what you need to know before
you vote:
(1) VPPPA Full member sites are eligible
for a maximum of two votes – one hourly
and one management representative.
(2) If only one of the two is present
during voting times, the site will only be
eligible for one vote.
(3) Attendees from the same member
site should decide in advance who will
represent their site and cast their vote
(one hourly and one management) on
behalf of the site. This will help avoid
confusion during elections.
(4) VPPPA strongly encourages members
to send both hourly and management
representatives to the conference to get
the maximum site votes.
This is your chance to make your voice
heard and decide on the leadership of
this association!
