Buddy responsibilities are quite flexible*, they include:

  • Contacting the new member/first time attendee(s) prior to the Conference
  • Meeting with the new member/first time attendee(s) at a mutually agreed upon time and place
  • Attend the New Member/First Time Attendee Reception
  • Introduce the new member/first time attendee(s) to friends and colleagues
  • Be a resource for the new member/first time attendee(s) during the Conference.
*The degree of interaction beyond the basic responsibilities is entirely up to the Buddy and new member/first time attendee.
“I really enjoyed being a Buddy, as I know a lot of people and felt I was able to connect my buddy with some great contacts.  I know my Buddy enjoyed the Conference and really appreciated me sticking with him and introducing him to so many people…he sent me a cookie bouquet after with a very nice thank you note.  It was quite a surprise and a very nice gesture.”
