Giving Acknowledgement to Sponsors & Volunteers

We have often called the data help desk a “program of X, Y, and Z” and further supported by many other individuals and organizations. X, Y, and Z have typically been ESIP, the meeting host (AGU, GSA, EGU) and EarthCube, the organizations that sponsor and/or contribute major effort and resources to the event.

Since the volunteer experts typically span a very wide range of institutions, they are counted among the further supporters.

After the event,

thank the volunteers and follow-up on any lingering questions. Consider running a post-event survey to gather volunteer feedback on how the events could be enhanced in the future.
