Are you looking for a great opportunity to get involved with the WordPress community?<\/h2>\n

We are in search of WordPress enthusiasts eager to lend a hand!\u00a0<\/strong>WordCamps would not be possible without a strong volunteer base of people like you. If you\u2019ve been thinking about attending WordCamp Lehigh Valley and want to help out, we would love to have you join us! Volunteering at WordCamp is a fun way to meet members of the local and national WordPress community, as well as help contribute to making the event a success.<\/p>\n

There are a variety of volunteer opportunities, each with different time commitments, experience requirements, and logistics. There are two requirements for ALL volunteers, regardless of the job or duration: be reliable and be friendly.<\/p>\n

Look over the list to see if anything strikes a chord. \u00a0Then if you\u2019d like to volunteer, fill out the volunteer form below to express your interest in volunteering. Our Volunteer Wrangler will get back to you and let you know which options are available and work out a schedule.<\/p>\n

During the Event<\/h2>\n

Set Up\/Clean Up –\u00a0<\/strong>Help with event set up and clean up as needed
\nRegistration \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Check in registered attendees and hand out nametags and swag. Sell walk-up tickets, take money and make change, or an iPad\/Square reader. \u00a0Being really awesome with alphabetical order helps here.
\nRoom Emcee \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Introduce speakers\/sessions and keep things running on time. Keep an eye on the clock and give speakers a heads up when they are down to 10 and 5 minutes, and let them know when their time is up. Brevity and wit a must.
\nPhotography \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>We need your your unique vision and your photography skills to\u00a0document the event with your camera.
\nRoom Runners \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Work with the emcees, video people, speakers, and everyone else working in the room to keep things running smoothly. Make sure there\u2019s water for speakers, and provide support as needed for other event staff.
\nHappiness Bar<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Answer questions and help WordPress users fix problems with their sites. Must be able to show a level of expertise to be selected for this gig.
\nFood\/Beverage \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0This is already taken of for the most part, but it would be helpful to have a few people keeping an eye on things. We\u2019ll especially need a couple of people to help around lunchtime.
\nMiscellaneous Prep \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Random helping here and there that doesn\u2019t have a category.<\/p>\n

Remember that if you volunteer, or are sending an employee to volunteer, you must meet the\u00a0WordCamp Central guidance for volunteers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
