To all M13 volunteers and/or volunteer wannabees;
We’re just 30 days out, and it’s time to call upon my volunteers to jump in with both feet. Now, before I scare you off, nothing is very complicated, but commitment is important. As some stage in the process, you offered to help and . . . well . . . here’s where the rubber meets the road and you can really help out.
These are a few of the volunteer tasks available.
SEMINAR SPEAKER MANAGER - This isn’t complicated, but it is important. As you know, we have many interesting seminars scheduled. Please download and review the various seminars as reflected in “GUIDEBOOK” ( https://guidebook.com/g/rivud7gb/?ref=badge&gid=34759 )
The “Seminar Speaker Manager” will have 3 primary functions.
A) Make sure the room is in order for the speaker, microphones are in place and working; “TEST !,2,3.” That’s about it.
B) Introduce the speaker - Nothing elaborate, but taking a moment to get to know them in advance will help your introduction
C) Keep track of their allocated speaking time. We’ll give you paddles to waive at them; a 5 minute warning toward the end, and a 1 minute warning that time is up. Running over is a problem for the next speaker
Again, please review the Guidebook and let me know which subject and speaker you would like to introduce / hear. That way, you will partake of the seminar while helping out
FAIR WARNING: Many will likely be interested in the same seminars, so please give me a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice, and please be flexible. I’ll do my best to assign you to the seminar of your choice, but please understand that it will likely be on a 1st come basis.
GUIDE BOOK INSTRUCTOR - Not everyone is totally computer literate. Just because they can use their Garmin and follow a magenta line doesn’t mean they can download a program Guidebook https://guidebook.com/g/rivud7gb/?ref=badge&gid=34759.
We’ll need 2 volunteers to be at the event Sign-in / Registration to help with souls who look lost and haven’t figured out how to download guidebook. These will be 2 hour shifts. Please let me know if you are available for more than 1 - 2 hour shift.
MENTOR - This is a great way to meet new members. Several new folks have requested a friendly face to bring them into the fold. This will involve calling your Mentee and arranging an initial meeting point at M13. After that, there are no rules. Perhaps introduce them to some of your COPA friends, but generally, make them feel welcome into the COPA Life.
OTHER JOBS - Other tasks might be waiting in the wings, so if you don’t see anything above that you like, just let me know that you are still willing, and I’ll keep you on standby.
Thanks to all of you. COPA is an incredibly vibrant volunteer organization focused on flying adventure, safety, and training. Thanks for your participation.
