NIRSA Strategic Value: Service

With Service as one of our association’s strategic values, the 2019 ERSL Conference presents its attendees with volunteer opportunities in order to serve during the conference. Session monitors and registration managers are the two volunteer positions that this conference offers over its three days in Florida. Through this act of service, volunteers will be able to interact and connect with colleagues, get involved in very important capacities, and assist in the overall operation and success of the conference.

Please contact Corbin Ross if you are interested in volunteering during the 2019 ERSL Conference, or for more details.

Special thanks to the 2019 NIRSA Collegiate Sport Club Committee
