For each of our events, large and small, we need people to do a variety of things, like:
- Take photos that can be uploaded to social media or included Press Releases, etc
- Video the event
- Perhaps Facebook Live or YouTube Live the event
- Be sure each visitor at the event signs our Guest Register (if there is formal registration for the event, this will simply be checking their name off the list; if they are not on the list, ask that they complete the basic guest list info…name, email (clearly printed), city, state
- Be sure that each visitor to our events feels welcome, and knows where to find whatever they need
- If there will be “signage” at the events, we may need help creating the signs
