There's still time!
The National Urban League National Convention, under the auspices of the Greater Baltimore Urban League, will be held in Baltimore August 3rd-6th, 2016. This is an historic event for the city of Baltimore as this is the first time the National Urban League has held its convention in Baltimore. There will be several national speakers at the conference, including the presidential candidates. This weeklong event will feature events and activities for all ages and interests including exhibits, workshops and discussions focused on the theme "Save Our Cities", a career fair, hackathon, several top tier keynote speakers and a number of networking events. It is a true reflection of the broad mission and strategies of the Urban League movement. More on the conference is found at: http://conference.gbul.org/
With this backdrop, we want the many visitors to witness the greatness of Baltimore and the congeniality of its residents. The convention site is the Baltimore Convention Center and the 10,000 guests will be housed in all the major hotels. Therefore, we are recruiting 600 volunteers. Volunteer assignments are varied, and range from stuffing registration bags to greeting attendees to conducting mock interviews at the career fair. Each volunteer is also invited to attend all non-ticketed events -- including the presidential forum -- of the conference at no cost. (Example ticketed events are luncheons or receptions).
Volunteer Orientation Sessions have since passed, but volunteers are still needed!

Please register to volunteer using the Volunteer Registration Form to complete your free conference registration. Then you must complete one additional step: sign the attached waiver and fax or email BY JULY 20 to:
