Volunteer Opportunities
(updated Feb 2012)
As you are aware, it takes a lot of energy, time, and especially teamwork to execute the The Ride Home weekend and your commitment and dedication are what make this weekend a success.
For 2012, we are breaking down the responsibilities and volunteer opportunities a little differently. We're asking that chapters take on the responsibilities of organizing some of our major events and functions, such as (but not limited to) the Ceremonies -- from start to finish -- and manage all the details within that realm. All the support you need will be available to you. The breakdown is as follows:
Major Events/Functions:
Ceremonies:
· Candlelight Ceremony
· MIA Ceremony - NOT assigned
· Dinner Banquet – NOT assigned
· Recognition – NOT assigned
Within each area are a variety of activities that need to be assigned, organized, coordinated, and more - so don't worry, everyone can play a key role in the Ride Home 2012.
The idea is to have a chapter chairperson (point of contact) take on a responsibility and then work with their members to pull it all together!
There are also numerous other standalone type activities that members/teams may also take on as their own:
· Welcome bags
· Name tags
· Water
· Early morning assistance at events (prep before guests arrive)
· Ushers/Waiters - all
· Recognition presentation gift
· Wall setup - all
· Chair set-up / breakdown - all
· Escorts - all
· Meet/greet at buses - all
· Presenters - all
· MIA Table – NOT assigned
· Color Guard – NOT assigned
· Parking – NOT assigned
· Buses – NOT assigned
· Photographers – NOT assigned
So, you see, there are countless opportunities -- and the time is NOW to explore these opportunities and sign-up.
