However without
volunteers, the conference will not happen. So if you are looking forward to
a great conference, please volunteer to help make it happen. You will work
with the board member who has volunteered to be the Conference Coordinator
for the year.
Following are some of the positions which need to be filled for the 2010
conference. Please note that in keeping with CHN's mission as an
"online-based" organization, the conference committee will communicate
online rather than in person.

rooms, av equipment, etc. Remains available during the conference to
handle issues as they arise.
