This team is responsible for organizing quarterly seminars and workshops that are 1 - 2 days in length. All volunteers are provided free attendance to the respective event(s) that they are involved on a "significant" volunteer basis. PDUs associated with the event are also available without charge if they also fulfill the PDU requirements. Significant volunteer basis is determined by the VP of Professional Development but is based on heavy involvement with one of the below roles. - Professional Development Oversight Committee Volunteer membership involves attendance at a monthly meeting (by telecon or person) and helps to set topics for the quarterly events based on survey feedback. This is an oversight committee. Some committee members choose to become more involved in one or more of the quarterly events in more involved roles.
- Professional Development Venue Volunteer is the key person that negotiates and coordinates with the event venue host. This person must be a member of the Professional Development Oversight Committee and is heavily involved with all of the quarterly events. Typically, the venue has been the Doubletree Hotel at the airport or Red Lion Inn in Bellevue. Other venues can be considered but the key to this position is developing a long-term working and trusting relationship with the venue staff to get the best value for the fee, to set early expectations for the events, and document lessons learned after each event to share with the Professional Development Committee. This position requires attendance at the monthly Oversight Committee meetings.
- Professional Development Presenter / Vendor Coordination Volunteers are key persons that negotiate and coordinate with the presenters and/or vendors that participate in the events. Typically, presenters may need travel expense reimbursements and per diem and/or a stipend. Involvement required is dependent on the event but is usually heavy during the planning and implementation phases of the respective event of which a subcommittee will be formed. These volunteers may wish to be involved with only one event or multiple depending on their preference. Attendance at the Event Subcommittee meetings is needed during the planning and implementation phases of the respective event.
- Professional Development Logistics Volunteers are key persons that ensure that the programs, registration, technology equipment, and schedule evolves smoothly throughout the event . This involves some advance involvement to understand expectations but the real meat of the involvement is the actual day of the event. Attendance at the Event Subcommittee meetings is needed during the planning and implementation phases of the event.
