Call for Volunteers
Connected by Purpose - Volunteer
The DEC Conference is just around the corner, and it’s more than just a conference; it’s a chance to come together as a community. For more than 40 years, our volunteers have brought heart, energy, and teamwork that turn conference days into something truly meaningful. This, our 41st year, won’t be the exception. We’d love for you to be part of it!
Support the event and save! Each 4-hour volunteer shift earns you a $50.00 DEC Gift Card which can be applied to conference registration, products or publications in the DEC store, or Learning Deck webinars.
Each 8-hour volunteer shift earns you one day of free conference registration (limited to two 8-hour shifts per person).
Volunteering isn’t just about helping the event run smoothly — it's also about connecting with others and creating an impact that lasts long after we say farewell.
Please Note: You must be registered for the conference to volunteer unless you have made alternative arrangements with DEC.
If you have any questions, please email us at conference@dec-sped.org.
Thank you for considering sharing your time and energy. Together, we’ll make this a conference to remember!
