VOLUNTEER INTERESTS (check any tha apply)

Runner: On the ground and in the middle of the action, Runners are the go-to folks who connect Expo exhibitors and attendees with answers and solutions.

Greeter: Stationed at key entry-points, Greeters direct exhibitors to their tables, performers to the stage manager, and attendees to the event's many features, attractions and workshops.

A/V & IT Tech Support: Lighting, sound and wireless networking at the event, and back-end Web production prior to the Expo itself. These jobs are so dang important we can't think of anything witty to say.

Publicity/Promo: Help develop our publicity outreach, interfacing with newspapers, radio stations, Web sites and more. Again, this is so important, it ain't even funny.

Street Team: Flyers, posters and the Expo Newspaper bring the word to the folks on the ground, and into the heart of our community. Help bring it to the people!

Writing/Editing: Get great clips and work with a professional editorial team in developing press material, Web site text, newsletters and more.

Stagehand/Gear Wrangler: You are the muscle, tendon and bone of the event. You lift, haul, lug and schlep. Your brawn provides the horsepower that moves the whole community forward.

Bar/Concession: Hunger and thirst are afflictions. You are the cure. Experience preferred.

Exhibitor Hospitality: There's a secret back room at the Expo, where participating arts organizations and performers gather for coffee, juice, snacks and quiet conversation. You'll help make sure it all runs smoothly.

Load-In: Tables must be arranged, chairs unfolded, signage put in place. Gather with us to set the stage for the Expo!

Load-Out: The day has ended, and a warm glow of accomplishment and community buoys us forward as we push the brooms, fold the chairs and stack the tables. Load-out volunteers occupy a special place in our hearts.

Driver: Sometimes you can't fit it all on your bike rack. Help us haul Expo newspapers, equipment, gear, performers, producers, food and drink ... your four wheels can make it happen.
