 
Education Outreach & Broader Impact Opportunities for YOU!
Each year the Education Committee prepares and presents dynamic, interactive plant science booths at a variety of outreach venues. ASPB members who are passionate about plant science education voluntarily staff the booths. The Education Committee invites YOU to volunteer as an ASPB representative at a booth this year. Booth Volunteer benefits include:
- amazing outreach experiences & countless teachable moments
- free admission to exhibit halls and some conference events
- easy access to great outreach for conferences near your hometown
- travel and hotel costs covered in some cases
- interactions with similarly-motivated colleagues
- complete orientation on all booth operations from veteran volunteers
