Cat's Hill Volunteer feedback from Lisa Hern

Topic: Volunteer Coordinator

What went well: Those who showed up were ready to help. The helpers covered multiple bases like ants at a picnic.

How to make job better: Volunteer Coordinator needs to do a number of things better next year, including, but not limited to the following:
1. Bring laptop for use of electronic database or spreadsheet to keep track of:
A) Those who show up
B) Those who do not show up
C) Volunteer Time In/Out
D) Volunteer Shift Time (Actual vs. Signed up for)
E) Volunteer sign up forms (some people simply took off without signing one)
F) Too many other things to mention right now, but basically, an electronic means of keeping track of volunteers is going to be way more efficient than a clipboard and a stack of paper!

Other comments: Volunteer Coordinator needs to remind people BEFORE the event that everyone MUST sign a form.

Also, keeping track of shows and no shows must be more efficient. Also, not to play the heavy, but those who are no shows must be held accountable in some way. . .

Also, recruitment efforts for marshals for next years race are already under way! Not kidding.
