Please complete the form below by 7 April to let us know your preferred committees.
You may serve on one committee, but please rank your top two choices in order of preference.
Be sure to match your strengths, expertise, and interest to the committee(s) you wish to join. ICCB seeks ~4-7 members per committee. Volunteers should already have plans to attend the congress. Committees meet up to two times per month for 1-hour from April through July.
- Communications Committee: Develop communications messaging around news and content presented at the Congress in a way that raises awareness about ICCB 2023, connects attendees to one another, and drives engagement with the broader conservation community before and during the Congress.
- Education & Student Affairs Committee: Manages the "Best Student Presentation" competition and collaborates with the Local Organizing Committee on student activities.
- Equity, Inclusion & Diversity Committee: Works on initiatives that represent DEI in the Rwandan context and supports an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment for ICCB delegates.
- Local Organizing Committee: Specific to individuals living in Kigali and the broader region, the LOC ensures that ICCB incorporates local culture and art into its programming, identifies fun congress activities and compiles local information for delegates, consults on entertainment and education for the opening and closing ceremonies for regional cultural significance, and identifies and secures local volunteers to assist with the coordination of local logistics.
- Travel Awards Committee: Working with congress planners, oversees the travel awards application review and selection process.
