Volunteer Nomination

The World Lottery Summit 2016 Volunteer Program (Introduction)

The use of volunteers is an established tradition at WLA conventions, including the World Lottery Summit, with volunteers providing invaluable support with a broad range of tasks. The volunteer program for WLS 2016 will include participation from local and international volunteers. The local volunteers will be organized by host lottery Singapore Pools, while the international volunteers will come from WLA member lotteries throughout the world.

Invitation to nominate volunteers

The WLA is pleased to invite you to nominate your employee(s) for the WLS 2016 volunteer program. As volunteers, your employees will assist with the event’s logistics and, as the “front-line ambassadors” for the event, they will project the warm and friendly face of the WLA while providing first-class service to our delegates.

The volunteer program for WLS 2016 offers a quality personal and professional development opportunity for your valued employees; a chance for them to learn new skills, make new contacts and create lasting memories.

Selection process and criteria

The WLA is looking to recruit up to 20 international volunteers for the WLS 2016 volunteer program. Each WLA member lottery can nominate up to two employees as volunteers. Volunteers must be able to speak fluent English; any other language is a bonus.

Preference will be given to nominees who have not participated in previous WLA conventions and trade shows as a volunteer.

The WLA will make a selection on the basis of experience, skills, language abilities, and other relevant criteria as detailed in the volunteer nomination form.

Terms and conditions

The WLA will cover the following costs for volunteers:

  • Transportation during the volunteer’s stay in Singapore
  • Accommodation and meals from November 4 to November 9 inclusive
  • Training
  • Volunteer uniforms

Should your nominee/s be successful with their application, your lottery will be responsible for organizing and funding their air travel to Singapore (including travel insurance). Each volunteer will be responsible for all other personal expenses incurred during their stay in Singapore. Details on training, uniforms, and other preparations will be provided to successful nominees in June.
