Call for Student Volunteers

The student volunteer positions for the 2012 Annual Meeting have been filled. If you previously applied for a position, all notifications will be received by February 17th, 2012.

The Society of Behavioral Medicine is seeking students interested in volunteering at 33rd Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions, taking place April 11-14, 2012 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside in New Orleans, LA. Please note that completing and submitting your application does not confirm or imply acceptance, as we have very limited availability of positions.

All volunteers will be asked to meet the requirements listed below in return for reimbursed base registration (Early Bird Rate $140 - $25 t-shirt expense = $115; Regular Rate $190 - $25 t-shirt expense = $165) to the conference.

Requirements

1. Fill out the Student Volunteer Form on the SBM website www.sbm.org
2. Pay the student registration fee. NOTE: This fee will be reimbursed in its entirety (minus the $25 fee for the t-shirt) upon successful completion of your volunteer assignment.
3. Read and sign the Volunteer Training Materials, which will be sent via email once your participation is confirmed.
4. Participate in 4-6 hours of volunteering at the meeting.

Important Notes

1. Your refunded registration fee - minus any workshop or banquet fees - will be sent within 3 weeks following the meeting, pending the confirmation of successful completion of all volunteering duties.
2. You will receive an automatic confirmation when submitting your application on the SBM website. If you do not receive this confirmation, please contact Benjamin Stumpf, at bstumpf@sbm.org.

8. Volunteers who depart their assigned station early, or do not sign out, will NOT receive reimbursement for their registration fee.
