Volunteer Opportunities

Many United Methodists assist with the smooth operation of the Conference by volunteering. You do not need to be a member of the Annual Conference Session to give of your time.

Among the opportunities for volunteering are:

• Highlighters – offer radical hospitality and respond to directional and scheduling inquiries at the hotel. Training is available. Contact Julia Maxwell on 202-726-0536 or email at
