Volunteer: (verb) to offer oneself or one's services for some undertaking or purpose.
Like many organizations, the Pennsylvania Library Association (PaLA) relies heavily on the willingness of our members to share their expertise and assist with the execution of projects, and this need comes fully into play at the annual conference. Volunteering at the conference is a fantastic way to meet new people, hone your skills, or learn new ones and enhance your overall conference experience!
