We need help making this first joint conference with SGAA and SAMA Members a collaborative success! If you have a few hours to contribute, ALL VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS YEARS SGAA + SAMA CONFERENCE SHOULD APPLY THROUGH THE FORM ON THE SAMA PAGE HERE and let us know when you are available! IF you need help covering your conference registration expenses, consider our Work Exchange Program.
Those conference attendees that are able to volunteer more of their time might consider applying for the Work Exchange Program. Dedicated, accountable volunteers will be asked to work 15 hours prior to and/or during the conference to support the staff and membership throughout the conference and ensure the conference runs smoothly.
Selection and placement will be at the discretion of the Volunteer Coordinator and there are limited spots available for this program. Open availability during the conference is the number one factor in being selected for the Work Exchange Program. If accepted and upon completion of the 15 hours, Work Exchange Volunteers will be reimbursed their conference registration fee.
For more information on SGAA Scholarships, several of which are applicable for conference workshops, check out our scholarship page here.

Please apply early, as the number of positions is limited.
Volunteers are asked to register and pay for their registration first. A check will be available at the end of the conference to reimburse registration fees once hours worked have been verified. Volunteer Work Exchange participants who miss their work assignments during the conference will not receive a refund.
