Volunteers must attend a training (October 15, 3pm) and/or watch a training video.
Volunteer to Monitor a session:
- Start and end the session recording.
- Supplement the closed-caption by writing in the chat any names or words that are not captured accurately during the live session. (Presenters will share transcripts before the event, so you can familiarize yourself with names and terms.)
- Communicate with the Conference host team (via GroupMe or a similar app) if any technical issues arise.
- Alert the Conference host team (via GroupMe) if you detect any harassment, microaggressions or other harm during the presentation or question/answer period.
