We Could Use a Little Help...
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
Volunteers are the heart and soul of PPAM and EVOLVE. Without your help, this incredible event and organization simply wouldn't be possible. Whether it’s lending a hand for an hour or being part of the bigger picture, every effort counts. Together, we can make this convention our best yet—join us and be a part of something truly special!
What are you good at - what do you LIKE to do?
If you are available and willing to contribute your time and talents, please consider volunteering to help out the Convention committee, or even just a few hours during the convention.
Your support will play a crucial role in creating a memorable experience for us all (and you get merits towards your PPAM Service Achievement Degree!)
EVOLVE: Front Desk/Registration
You're the first friendly face that attendees will see!
Your mission is to check-in guests, answer questions, and help sell tickets for our Education Fund raffle.
You'll be working alongside Ann Dreiker (VP Membership) and Laurie Lizotte (VP Finance) and they'll be there to help you, too.
You're the superhero of the front desk - are you ready to save the day?

EVOLVE: Closing/Awards Party Photographer
Does anyone know a photographer? 🤔
📸 We need a rockstar behind the lens for the Closing Party/Awards Banquet on Sunday night —because who better to capture a room full of photographers than, well… another photographer? 😆 If you love snapping epic moments, enjoy a fun crowd, and want to be part of a night filled with celebration (and probably a few cameras pointed back at you), let us know! 🎉✨
Just email convention@ppam.com if you're up to the job!
EVOLVE: Greeters
Friendly faces wanted! Your mission includes standing at the program door greeting attendees, nametag-checking, and head-counting. Plus, you get to hand out raffle tickets and ticket stubs if there are prize drawings. Whose day will you make lucky?
You'll be working with Missy Stevens, our 'Security' Chair and she'll give you all the deets on what to do and where to be!
You'll be parked inside the action-packed program rooms, so pick a program that sparks your interest and sign up pronto!

EVOLVE: Photo Bays Setup
Be part of the action and make magic happen behind the scenes! We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help set up our photo bays at EVOLVE.
As a Photo Bay Setup Superstar, you will help set up the Photo Bays for the Saturday Night Hands-On event. You'll work alongside photographer-extraordinaire Kris Ventresco and his amazing team to arrange backdrops and set up lighting, so everything is picture-perfect for our attendees. We'll guide you every step of the way!
Ready to jump in and lend a hand? Let’s create something incredible together!
EVOLVE: AV Support
You'll be working alongside the legendary George Lucozzi (Props Chairperson) to lend a helping hand with the tech side of things - setting up and keeping tabs on microphones, speakers, and the projector during the programs.
Must be available to assist the speaker if technical difficulties arise, too!
Pick a shift during a program that sparks your interest and sign up!
EVOLVE: Party Crew
It's EVOLVE! It's EVOLVE! PARTY TIME! ... EXCELLENT!
We tried, but we couldn't get Wayne or Garth to help with the infamous Theme Party and Closing Party! We could use some help with setup and decoration of both parties, and clean up after the Friday Night party. Can you spare an hour or two on Friday and/or Sunday?
Party On!
EVOLVE: Late Night Lounge
NEW HOTEL, NEW HOSPITALITY HOST! Stephanie Olsen has kindly offered to take the reins from Tony in ensuring the camaraderie continues into the late-night room complete with snacks, laughs and good vibes.
But she can’t do it alone! We need your help to make this lounge unforgettable. Step up and be a champion by signing up to set up, clean up, or join the opening squad. Let's rock this joint!
EVOLVE: Food for the Late Night Lounge
NEW HOTEL! NEW RULES!
Please do not bring anything hot or that requires heating, reheating or special prep. Sticking to the Sign Up Genius is truly appreciated!
Sign up here to bring some yummy treats to share with the gang! Please bring pre-packaged SNACK SIZE goodies like crunchy pretzels, tasty chips, sweet cookies, yummy candy. Sorry, no nuts allowed since we want everyone to be able to munch in peace and not need an epi pen!
There will also be a variety of other snacks—including options that are salty, sweet, indulgent, gluten-free, and vegetarian. Truly something for everyone.
Remember, a little effort from everyone keeps the party going without putting an extra burden on any individual. So, update the sign-up sheet with your snack selection, and we'll make sure to avoid the dreaded snack shortage. Let's get our snack on!
Please text Stephanie Olsen at 781-871-5153 to coordinate getting your items to the hospitality area. (Please do not bring them to registration.)
