Volunteer at MWSUG 2020
MWSUG is an all-volunteer organization and we rely heavily on volunteers like you to make the conference a success. Volunteering is a great way to network and become more active in the community of SAS users.
We are looking for volunteers to help coordinate sessions and stuff bags for attendees (see list of duties and shifts below). You can sign up to volunteer using our Volunteer Sign-Up System, which will be available later in the spring, or by contacting Richann Watson, Volunteer Coordinator at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
You are welcome to volunteer for more than one shift, but keep in mind that volunteers are expected to honor their commitment by showing up for each shift on time and staying for the duration. If your plans change after you sign up, please contact the volunteer coordinator as soon as possible at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so that your shift(s) can be reassigned.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a registration discount for volunteers. However, volunteers will be acknowledged for their service.
