Volunteer Opportunities

Conference Contest Coordinator:
Erin Mullins has done an outstanding job coordinating friendly contests at our Conferences. She has put together some good planning documents for the future coordinator. The position becomes available in April 2018.

State Fair Chair:
Dean Sanders has been the State Fair Chair for more than 7 years now and was assisting with the Fair for many years before that. He's been a great asset all these years, but feels it's time to give someone else a chance. So we need to find someone that would like to take over for him. He's more than happy to assist in the training and "passing of the baton". If you have any interest in helping with the fair, please contact Dean or Clayton with any questions.

Contact Clayton Lee if you are interested or have any questions!

Thank You to Fall Conference Supporters!

It's hard to pull off a successful event without the help of some extra special donations! We want to thank Giofre for their ice cream and Karen Arment, Manager of Hardees for their cinnamon raisin biscuits.
