• How long must I work to receive the reduction?
  The minimum amount of time to volunteer for the reduction is eight (8) hours.
   
• Must I work all eight hours in one block?
  No, the time can be broken up into two blocks of four hours each.
   
• I may only be able to attend sessions for one day. Can I get the reduction for the one day?
  Sorry, in order to get the reduced rate, there is an eight-hour commitment involved. An individual cannot attend the convention and volunteer eight hours in the same day.
   
• Does reduction apply to all aspects of the conference?
  Special events are not eligible for a reduced rate. We do need volunteers for Preconvention Workshops on Wednesday, April 11. Preconvention Workshop volunteers arrive early and stay for the workshop. Workshop registration is not required, but all-day attendance is a must to perform the various duties AND convention registration is required (at the volunteer rate).
   
• How many volunteers are needed for the convention?
  About 250.
   
• Are there individuals who get "first option" at the volunteer slots?
  Individuals from Colorado will be given first preference, non-Colorado residents who are CEC members will be given second preference, and non-Colorado residents who are not CEC members will be considered last.
   
• When will I know if I have been selected to be a volunteer?
  If you submit your application to volunteer on or before Dec. 15, 2011, you will be notified prior to Jan. 17, 2012. This will allow time for those not selected to qualify for the early-bird registration rate and still save.
   
• If I am selected to volunteer, how do I register and get credit for the reduction?
  Once an individual has been accepted as a volunteer and has accepted the volunteer assignment (eight hours assigned during the week of the convention), he or she will receive a CEC registration form designated for volunteers.
   
• What happens if, after I register, I determine that I can't fulfill my volunteer commitment?
  The volunteer committee chair will notify CEC and CEC will bill you for the difference in registration price.
   
• Will I have any "say" as to what I will do as a volunteer?
  You will be contacted and asked if there are specific areas or duties you are interested in. We will try to place you in your preferences -- but we cannot guarantee it.
   
• Will there be training for the volunteers?
  Yes, volunteer training sessions will be held throughout each day.
