Exhibitor Information
As part of this event, the “Next Steps Fair” will connect AmeriCorps participants with higher education institutions and employers in the Washington, DC area.

The “Next Steps Fair” at the 3rd Annual Life After AmeriCorps Conference is a wonderful opportunity to recruit highly talented, diverse graduating national service members. It is also an opportunity to learn more about and engage your staff in community service initiatives. If you are interested in this opportunity for your organization, we are asking for a small nominal fee of $20. The value of outreach to the 200+ potential workers will well exceed this small fee guaranteeing a worthwhile recruiting experience.

The fair will take place between 4:00 and 5:30 p.m. on the day of the conference. Each exhibitor will be provided table space and room for banners/advertising materials and lunch will be provided.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Natasha at natasha.ballentine@dc.gov. Exhibitor applications are due by Friday, April 6, 2007.
