Marketing Outreach

DESCRIPTION

The duties for this service area have been expanded to included functions that will appeal to a wide volunteer base. Beginning with the 2011 show, Marketing Outreach volunteers will assist the NWSS HR Department with both the Returning Employees Job Fair for two days in November as well as the New Employees Job Fair in December. Volunteers with an HR background will be especially needed. Hours accumulated during these fairs can be added to total hours spent volunteering during the show.

New this year, volunteers will play an important role part in determining both the short and long range goals of the National Western Stock Show by greeting guests and gathering information that will be used by the NWSS and its sponsors. Four volunteers will be needed inside the Coliseum and the Events Center for every ticketed event to accomplish this very valuable task.

Each year, the NWSS holds Family/Senior Days; the Thursday morning PRCA rodeo will be a very busy time for this service area. Volunteers should be prepared to assist with a large number of shuttles and vans arriving with seniors and handicapped guests. Additional training will be provided to volunteers signing up for this day.
