The annual SIGGRAPH conference is a tremendous experience, involving tens of
thousands of attendees and hundreds of conference volunteers. To facilitate
operation of the conference, a number of Student Volunteers will be appointed
as Team Leaders. Assigned to specific programs and events, Team Leaders manage
Student Volunteers in their areas and coordinate volunteer duties with SIGGRAPH
2005 Committee members. This is a valuable opportunity to share your experience
and enhance Student Volunteer performance.
Applicants for Team Leader positions must meet all Student Volunteer criteria and must have
demonstrated outstanding abilities as a Student Volunteer in either of the two most recent
conferences (SIGGRAPH 2003 or SIGGRAPH 2004). Team Leaders must be organized, enthusiastic,
and dedicated to helping the conference run smoothly for attendees. They must be able to take
initiative and solve problems in this dynamic and self-motivated role. Team Leaders must also be
effective in dealing with groups of people and performing under pressure. They are expected to volunteer
at least 60 hours during the conference, not including orientation. ALL Team Leaders must attend an all-day
Team Leader orientation session on Friday, 29 July 2005. They are also expected to be at the conference from
Friday, 29 July 2005 through Friday, 5 August 2005.
Team Leader Application Process
Team Leader applicants must first complete the standard Student Volunteer Application. Before
they submit an application, Team Leader applicants will complete one extra section containing
questions related to personal skills and experience, and are required to write one additional
personal statement of no more than 300 words, as described in the application.
Team Leader Recognition
All Team Leaders receive seven nights of accommodation (Friday, 29 July 2005 - Friday, 5 August 2005) at a
conference hotel.
A minimum of two team leaders of the same gender will share each hotel room. It may be necessary to
place more than two per room, but every effort will be made to keep the number in each room to the minimum.
Further information on housing will be provided upon an applicant's acceptance as a Team Leader.
Team Leaders will also receive additional conference materials beyond those offered to other Student Volunteers.
All Team Leaders are responsible for their own travel to and from Los Angeles as well as their own meals during
their time at the conference, though some limited travel-grant funds are available.
