Process
Registration
- Chairs determine vacancies and volunteer needs, providing this information to the Webmaster no later than September 15.
- The Webmaster updates volunteer roles and fees annually.
- Existing roles are grandfathered where applicable.
- A test registration is completed to ensure reports and fees function correctly.
- Use online registration to indicate volunteer interests. Selections are not timestamped.
- All registrants pay the levy. The levy is applied to the following season. If a member does not return, a refund is issued by cheque after the start of the following season.
Assignment
- Chairs and convenors have access to volunteer lists.
- Chairs communicate directly with their volunteers.
Tracking
Each Chair, or designated responsible person, tracks their volunteers’ hours. This information is forwarded to the Finance Chair, Membership, and Treasurer within two weeks of the end of the season.
Credits and Refunds
Membership reviews and enters volunteer credits on the back end of the website based on the lists provided by Chairs. After registration closes, Membership identifies credits that have not been redeemed and coordinates with Finance and the Treasurer to issue refunds.
