CMRT VOLUNTEER AGREEMENT

CMRT values the big commitment in time and talent made by its volunteers. CMRT’s volunteers
serve in different roles and some in more than one. We are grateful.

The primary purpose of this Volunteer Agreement is to ensure that CMRT and its volunteers understand what to expect from each other.
Its second purpose is to make clear that you are obliged to respect and protect confidential information you may be given access to regarding CMRT members and stakeholders.
