unique roles, there is a volunteer chance for everyone. Volunteers answer phones, sort bibs, help aid

stations on the trail, aid with visitors management, staff data desks, help with bib select-up at the Birkie Expo,

coordinate awards, and almost everything in between. Volunteers perform a crucial position, both indoors and out of doors, in

assisting to make the Birkie week of events the greatest demonstrate on snow! There are presently several volunteer

opportunities currently accessible for the two the Birkie Tour (January 17, 2016) and the Birkie week of occasions

number of ways,” mentioned Ronda Tworek, ABSF Director of Volunteer &amp Participant Solutions.  “We have

volunteers of all ages, some have volunteered for years and other individuals are new to the Birkie.  We are so incredibly

thankful for each and every and every a single of them.  They are genuinely indispensable and the lifeblood of the Birkie

knowledge!”

&nbsp

The framework of the Birkie volunteer system supplies options for individuals interested in taking part in both a

leadership position or individuals interested in a supporting role. For many volunteer locations, the ABSF has assigned

Birkie Chiefs, or designated leaders of a specific region, for instance a certain crucial assist station on the Birkie

Trail. Before race day, the Birkie Chiefs operate hand-in-hand with Birkie workers members to figure out volunteer

requirements, demands, shifts, and something else necessary to make sure a smooth and effective race day expertise

for all. From there, all information is entered into the ABSF’s new Volunteer Local organizational application

system.
