Join the Conference Committee!
The Conference Committee provides a great opportunity to connect with colleagues, network, discuss best practices in the field, and, most importantly, help plan the Annual Conference.
The 2025 Conference Committee application is closed. If you are interested or have any questions, please email our Vice President, Emily Edmonds-Langham, at vicepresident@nycmer.org.

- Work with professionals and students from around NYC and beyond.

- Take on the role of Conference Shepherd, working with presenters as they plan their sessions and helping with logistics on the day-of.

Plus, Conference Committee members receive a complimentary ticket to the conference, as a thank you for all their hard work.
