2024 Conference Volunteer Opportunities

Interested in free conference registration?

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities at our 80th Annual Conference and Meeting and are offering free conference registration for those who engage to support us!

Volunteering with OPHA is a great opportunity to learn more about our organization and gain valuable networking and leadership experience. Take it from our previous volunteers, some of whom have gone on to serve in leadership positions within OPHA or have received job offers!

Conference registration includes access to the two-day conference, the annual meeting, the public health awards ceremony and meals, including a light breakfast and coffee/tea each morning, lunch in the afternoons, and a light reception at the poster session.
