2021 CCC Law Student/Attorney Volunteer Application

Volunteer Assignment
I agree to serve as a volunteer for the 2021 HNBA/VIA Corporate Counsel Conference (2021 CCC) & Moot Court Competition, assisting the Hispanic National Bar Association (“HNBA”) on March 9-12 OR March 16-18, 2021. In my capacity as a Volunteer, I agree to be available and perform the duties that the HNBA will assign to me.

Time Commitment
I hereby agree to provide a minimum of five (5) hours of service before and during the 2021 CCC & Moot Court Competition as directed by the National Leadership Team, its authorized representatives and/or HNBA National Staff. If volunteering for Moot Court, I agree to be available between March 9 - 12, 2021. If volunteering for 2021 CCC, I agree to be available for Orientation on Monday, March 15 AND during the 2021 CCC (March 16 – 18). By signing this agreement, I hereby have confirmed that I have informed my school, work, and any other entity or persons that need to be aware that I will be volunteering during the time stated above and have been approved to be completely available.

Consideration
I recognize that as a Volunteer I will not receive any compensation for my services. I recognize that my service is critical to the operations of the Conference and that securing another volunteer to take over any of my assigned responsibilities during the Conference would create undue hardship for the HNBA.

No Employment Relationship with HNBA
I recognize that with respect to my volunteer activities, I am not an employee of the HNBA and that no employer-employee relationship is created as a result of the services I hereby agree to provide as a Volunteer at the Convention.

Confidentiality Agreement
I acknowledge that during the period in which I will be a Volunteer at the Conference, I may have access to HNBA confidential and proprietary information, including, but not limited to, information about the HNBA’s personnel, membership, finances, budgets, plans, initiatives, sponsors, and other information that is not in the public domain and/or that the HNBA considers confidential and proprietary (collectively “Confidential Information”). I agree that any Confidential Information which may become known to me during the period in which I volunteer with the HNBA is, and shall remain, the exclusive property of the HNBA. I further agree that all Confidential Information I may produce in conjunction with my services as a Volunteer with the HNBA shall be the exclusive property of the HNBA and I hereby waive and disclaim any right to any intellectual property or other rights with respect to said information, documents or materials. I hereby agree that I will not use any Confidential Information for any purpose unless such use has been previously approved in writing by the HNBA. I further agree that I will report to the HNBA any and all unauthorized disclosures or uses of any Confidential Information of which I may become aware. I agree to deliver to the HNBA any materials, documents and data of any nature containing, or pertaining to, Confidential Information immediately after my Volunteer activities end. I will not remove any Confidential Information from the premises of the HNBA when my Volunteer activities end.

Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, and the laws of the District of Columbia shall be the exclusive forum with jurisdiction to entertain disputes related to this Agreement.
