NOTE: Please send all inquiries or interests for volunteering on event day to [email protected]. We appreciate all of our volunteers! However that falls under a different category and director. The below post is only for Planning Committee and Lead Ops division personnel.
THANK YOU! We have multiple positions needing to be filled on our Planning Committee and/or Event Day Ops management. We are also expanding our positions to break into easier work load for everyone. In hopes our hard working committee members can stay with us longer term with a lighter load. And remove miscellaneous tasks and work load from our Director (who fills in for any empty positions, usually doing 4 or 5 per year). + Assistant Sponsorship Director (additional prospecting, fundraising, etc) + After-party Coordinator (planned between us and Alamo Beer) + Assistant Registration/Participant Director + Design and Merchandise (Annual design work, Tshirts, annual freebie items, etc) + Assistant to Director (to main event founder/director, includes admin work, errands, etc) + Support Coordinator (pipe&drum, honor guard, lead agency, anthem, photographers, etc) + Logistics Director (as ours is switching to a different position. Includes overseeing all inventory and managing all items and needs delivered for event day. May have replacement but possibly open.) + Event Day Ops management positions: Stairwell, Grounds Ops, asst Observation Level, EMS/Rehab leads, Merchandise/Donation Table Committee/planning level holds meetings twice a month in evenings over Zoom (until closer to event day) starting in May. Planning/committee level positions DO have responsibilities that are required (no just "T-shirt wearer" positions. Responsibilities and working expectations). And we are hoping to have long term commitments, not just one year, as training is time consuming. So serious interest only please. Please email [email protected] and cc [email protected] with info and if specific interested position and level of time/responsibility available to commit. Our 2023 San Antonio 110 9/11 Memorial Climb is ready to roll!
As always, Registration opens July 1st at 8am sharp. This year our "Director's Special" is for two days instead of just one! Spread the word!
