We Need YOUR Help in 2015!
Ever wonder what types of tasks are undertaken by Artist Row Volunteers to prepare for the show in September? Many (but certainly not all!) of the planning tasks relating to the show are listed below, split by committee. Generally, a committee coordinator is responsible for reporting on the action of their committee at monthly meetings and completing/delegating responsibilities with the help of the Artist Row chairperson(s). Committee members are kept in the loop regarding action items in their area, and are invited to jump in to help whenever they can! Can you join our existing team of dedicated volunteers to help fill any of these roles for 2015?
