WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

We have several positions open or will be open next year on Council.  By distributing the effort over many people, we can keep this from becoming a burden for any one person.

The newly-created summer trips coordinator is a volunteer role responsible for overseeing, planning and organizing spring, summer, or autumn non-ski trips for the Club that last longer than one day. This person will be a member of the club's Council and they will submit for Council approval such details as trip dates and locations, number of seats offered, and sign-up dates.

Duties:

•  Research and select destinations based on personal experience, Club survey results, and coordination with Council.

•  Once the destinations are selected, propose them to Council for approval.

•  Obtain bids from multiple tour operators which will arrange transportation and book accommodations.

•  Select tour operator based on received quotes, with Council approval.

• Obtain contract signatures from the Club president, and submit initial deposit check requests.

• Present the trip to qualified trip leaders and select a leader (and assistant leader if applicable.)

•  In conjunction with the selected leader(s), report trip status to Council monthly, including # of signups, “go/no-go” dates, and any problems or concerns.

The type of trips WSC is envisioning include:

• Cruises

• Hikes

• Historic tours

• Cycling

• Rafting/kayaking

• Train excursions

• Boating/sailing

• Anything else you can dream up!

Please contact Kurt or Anne or any other member of Council if this sounds like a fun undertaking that interest you.
