Convention
Student Ambassadors
The Student Ambassador Program is designed to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to attend the ECA convention with no convention registration fees. There are a limited number of Ambassador slots available.
NOTE: This opportunity is *not* open to students who are on panels at the convention.
Undergraduate students who are interested in serving as ECA Student Ambassadors must complete an application and return it to Janie Harden Fritz by March 1, 2009. A completed convention registration form must accompany the application. If a student is selected as an ambassador, the convention registration fees will be waived.
Student Ambassadors will assist the Executive Director and First Vice President in the operations of the convention. In order to receive the registration fee waiver, Student Ambassadors must agree to work for a minimum of six hours during the convention. Specific duties may include helping with registration, staffing the local arrangements table, recording attendance at meetings and panels, and other duties assigned by either the Executive Director or First Vice President.

Undergraduate Buddy Program
The Buddy Program is designed to make convention attendance less intimidating for undergraduate students and to provide them with a financial incentive to participate in the 2009 conference. This program encourages undergraduates to attend the convention in pairs, on the "buddy system."
Two undergraduate students from the same college or university may attend the 2009 convention for the price of a single convention registration fee. There is no work requirement associated with this program.
Participants in the Buddy Program must register at the same time and must pay the single convention fee at the time of registration.
