Autism Society San Francisco Bay Area is holding its big annual conference Saturday, December 2 at Stanford University. The conference features more than 40 speakers and 400 attendees.
We are looking for volunteers to do the following:
1. Help attendees with wayfinding from parking to the LKS building on campus (7.45am-1pm).
2. Social media assistant. To do Tweet and FB posts during the conference.
3. Still photographer. To take various still photos (can be with iPhone) throughout the day, perhaps post some to social media. Some skill is required. You will also need to send us the "best of" photos following the event (about 30-50 pics of sessions, group shots and candids).
4. Breakout room assistant. To monitor the 8 breakout rooms to see if the presenters or others may need assistance. Will also need to wrangle people into the sessions after breaks (strong and lous personality needed : )).
Please learn more about our amazing conference at: http://www.sfautismsociety.org/2017-sfasa-conference.html
High school junior and above only, please.
We are happy to give hourly credits to volunteers seeking service hours.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to grow a stronger Bay Area autism community. By creating a robust hub of information, resources, networks, and advocacy, we help advance common goals for the Bay Area's 20,000+ autism families. Rather than serving as a direct service provider to individuals with autism and related disabilities, we seek to provide a community focal point.
Description
Autism Society San Francisco Bay Area (SFASA) is a grassroots, volunteer-run nonprofit organization of parents, family members, friends and professionals striving to build a stronger, more connected and influential Bay Area autism community. We began in 1967 and cover the six major San Francisco Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara. We are an affiliate of the Autism Society of America.
In 2014, SFASA reinvented itself to focus on improved community outreach and on issues related to addressing the dire need to expand the limited lifespan care options for the dramatically increasing numbers of adults with autism. Rather than serving as a direct service provider to people with autism, we act as a hub for the broader autism community. Our activities include:
Information: A popular website, robust resources lists, information & referral, newsletters, blogs, publications, and social media.
Networking and Education: Annual adult autism conference and various events, with an eye toward strengthening connections and knowledge within communities.
Advocacy: Fearless advocacy and outreach to the public and policymakers; acting as an authoritative voice on autism in the media and public fora.
Autism Society San Francisco Bay Area is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Tax ID # 94-2978690. Website:
