Volunteer Spotlight
Emmanuelle Pollier
When I first started volunteering at UXPA, I took on different roles. I was helping at the registration desk, handing out badges and packets, guiding people and answering questions that attendees had, assisted during talks and looked for whatever help was needed.
Now, in my current role as a co-chair for the UXPA volunteer committee, my responsibilities go beyond that and involves two components. First, it’s getting ready for the conference: communicating with people who are interested in volunteering, planning and distributing shifts, preparing and holding a volunteer orientation together with Matt Karakilic, who is the chair for the volunteer committee. And second, making sure our volunteers have a positive experience and have time to enjoy the conference.
