Volunteers Needed:

For a conference of this size, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine will need volunteers to assist before and during the Conference. To thank our volunteers for working over the course of the Conference (September 30 – October 3, 2012), we would like to welcome volunteers to attend Conference sessions and to network with Conference attendees at any time you are not scheduled to volunteer. This is a great way for interested volunteers to learn more about ACLM and lifestyle medicine practice.

If you are interested in volunteering and are available for part of or all of the Conference please contact Lisa Gregory, Conference Event Manager, email: lisa@gregoryevents.com, phone: 503-459-8678. The volunteer deadline is August 31, 2012.
