The Creating Change Conference is less than a few weeks away. The host committee is calling on us to help pull off this conference–it cannot happen without the help of volunteers! If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please come on Sunday, January 31st, from 12pm-6pm for Volunteer Orientation at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel at 400 North Olive Street, Dallas, TX 75201.

Everyone who is on the host committee should attend this orientation to familiarize themselves with the conference hotel, the Task Force staff, the registration process, the conference program and there will be a tour every hour on the hour you will need to attend.

Afterward we ask that you help stuff at least 3,000 conference packets. We understand if you can’t stay till 6pm, we are asking for whatever time you can offer.This orientation is for our host committee members and volunteers. If you are on the host committee and haven’t been able to lend your time to a committee, this is a chance for you to sign up to volunteer at the conference and you will gain admission for free for every 4 hours you volunteer in a day.

Attached is a map of parking lots around the hotel for you to use for this event and for the conference. We highly suggest using the DART system since there are plenty of park and rides through out the city to utilize.

What we need help with:

Exhibitors: 30 we should have at least 50 if not more exhibitors, this is a large metroplex and not only organizations can exhibit but those who are merchants selling items such as books, clothes, jewerly, pet stuff, etc. click here for more information on being an exhibitor or click here to register to become an exhibitor
