United in Security Leadership

We love our volunteers!

Due to the rising costs of the conference and volunteers’ desire for increased flexibility, UMSA is rolling out a new volunteer fee structure. This new structure will allow volunteers flexibility in how they contribute to UMSA and will directly correlate their efforts to off-setting their Secure360 conference cost.

We will use the previous calendar year to calculate volunteer hours for the upcoming conference. For example, if you have volunteered 10 hours at Secure360 2024 and volunteer another two hours through year end 2024, you can then volunteer in 2025 at no cost; if not, you would need to volunteer and pay $75.00.

Graduated Cost Scale
• 0-4 hours – $100 discount
• 5-8 hours – $200 to attend
• 9-12 hours – $75 to attend
• 12+ hours – free to attend

Volunteer Hour Opportunities
• Speaker voting in December (est 4 hours)
• Speaker Selection Meeting in January (est 8-16 hours)
• Scholarship Voting/Selection when (est 4-hours)
• Secure360 Conference Volunteer May (est 4-16 hours)
• Other tasks pre-approved by the Managing Director or Board

*Note that UMSA board meetings do not count towards volunteer hours although exceptions may be granted on an as-needed basis. This framework will be reviewed from time to time and adjusted as needed.
