Volunteerism always is critical to IASA, stresses Joe Pomilia, executive director. "While we work on events, infrastructure, governance, and all kinds of things every other organization or association cares about, volunteerism always is at the forefront because we continue to remain a small-staffed organization," says Pomilia. "We want to stay close to our customer, and the only way to do that is have volunteers tightly integrate with everything we do."

As chairman of the volunteer development committee, Daniel Roskopf reports his group is charged with generating new volunteers for IASA. This is done either directly through correspondence or in more subtle ways.

Most of the direct recruiting at this year's conference will be done through addresses made by IASA president Jim Keal and the incoming president, Craig Lowenthal, during the morning breakfast meetings.
