FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is the minimum time I can volunteer for?
A: 4 hours. Daily Volunteers must work a minimum of 4 hours. After working a minimum
of 4 hours, a volunteer becomes eligible to attend 4 hours of the conference
complimentary. Pre-Conference Courses are not part of the complimentary
compensation. Hours must be worked prior to receipt of complimentary compensation.
Q: What if I am volunteering to be a Daily Volunteer and I have already registered to
attend the conference?
A: Provided you volunteer a minimum of 8 hours, NENA will issue you a refund equal to
the price of a one-day registration at the conclusion of the conference.
In cases where someone is signing-up to be a Daily Volunteer but has already submitted
a NENA Conference Registration Form and paid a registration fee, they must work a
minimum of 8 hours that are verified by the Volunteer Coordinator, and at the conclusion
of the conference, NENA will reimburse them for the cost of a One Day Registration. In
order to obtain this reimbursement, they need to notify NENA in writing that they have
already paid for a full registration and will be a Daily Volunteer. At the conclusion of the
conference, NENA will issue a refund equal to the one-day registration fee based on the
date of their original registration.
