Join Us In Celebrating 2003 As ASHA's Year Of The Volunteer
Come to the Volunteer Welcome Center
McCormick Place, Room E255
To honor the volunteer spirit, ASHA has designated 2003 as The Year of the Volunteer to thank its members for the many hours of dedicated work they perform, contributing immeasurably to the professions of audiology and speech-language communication sciences and disorders.
This year of celebration will culminate at the Convention. A Volunteer Welcome Center for ASHA volunteers will be located at the McCormick Place Convention Center. If you have volunteered your time to assist your Association, please stop by the Welcome Center to receive a special gift and sign up for great raffle items that ASHA exhibiting companies have donated. The drawing for the raffle will take place on Saturday, November 15, at 4:00 pm.
Year of the Volunteer ribbons will be available at the Information Booth and at the Welcome Center for all members who have worked on behalf of the Association.
If you have not had the chance to volunteer in the past and are interested in doing so, stop by the Welcome Center to pick up a form to submit your name for future opportunities.
ASHA's Global Messenger Service
Sponsored by Delmar Learning
For the Convention in Chicago, ASHA is featuring the Global Messenger, a sophisticated video-computer Internet messaging system.
You can receive messages at McCormick Place in Chicago by voice, fax, and Internet. When a message is received for you, your name will instantly appear on one of the scrolling monitors at a message kiosk.
If you decide to use the wireless delivery option, your message will also be sent to your personal e-mail account, cell phone, pager, or Palm OS device. Attendees utilizing this service will have the ability to customize their conference profile by creating their own password for their mailbox. With the wireless delivery option, when you send a message to another attendee the message will be delivered to all of the following: the scrolling monitors on-site, the globalmessenger.net Web site, the attendee's e-mail address and cell phone or wireless PDA. A simple menu allows you to read, print, and reply to messages.
The message center will be located in the Level 2 Lobby outside of Hall E in Lakeside Center of McCormick Place. It will be staffed from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. The Global Messenger System is operational 24 hours a day. You may also use your laptop PC and the Internet address at any time to post and/or receive messages.
