The Annual Conference Committee plans the CoNPS Annual Conference with input from the chapter that is helping to coordinate it that year. Members and volunteers are also needed to help at the conference staffing tables, working projectors and computers, helping coordinate food, coordinate field trips, introduce speakers, and staff the registration table, silent auction, etc. The committee is staffed by the Events Coordinator. The temporary volunteers are from the chapter responsible for that year’s conference. The Conferences usually alternate between East slope and West slope locations.
