These positions provide the professional courtesies that the clinicians, performing groups and the membership are entitled to representing VMEA.

• Present plaque / certificate when appropriate at the conclusion of the session.
  
  • Performing groups receive a plaque
  • Demonstration groups receive a certificate
  • These plaques and or certificates and other pertinent material will be available from Section Presidents or designee.
• Provide assistance when necessary to Room Chairs in checking badges at the door.
• Concerts are open to the public so badges are not necessary.
