Volunteers are instrumental in shaping the ICCB program.
Organizing Committees
ICCB planning committees play an important role in helping to organize, promote, and manage ICCB.
Volunteers work on several planning aspects to ensure robust programmatic content, a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees, student advancement and professional development opportunities, and more. Volunteers gain new career boosting skills in project management, team building, and event organizing while helping SCB deliver a forward-looking Congress that will shape the future of conservation.
ICCB is not a success without the volunteers who make the meeting the best it can be for all attendees.
