Sheema Shaik Serves as TLI Registration & Volunteer Recruitment Chairman

Registration & Volunteer Recruitment Chairman
Sheema Shaik (Area 60 Governor)

The purpose of this position is to coordinate registration and volunteer recruitment. Key responsibilities for the position include:
  • Provide a means for people to begin registering and volunteering to assist with this event several weeks prior to TLI, such as SurveyMonkey.
  • Send regular updates to fellow chairmen so they can contact people who volunteered to help in their area of responsibility.
  • Share a draft of the registration form with fellow chairmen to review prior to its distribution.
  • Post a large “REGISTRATION” sign above the registration table so that people can easily see it when they first enter.
  • Recruit volunteers to collect registration money and to arrive 30-45 minutes in advance of the start time to ensure that all registration moneys are collected as volunteers and participants begin to arrive.
  • Brief the registration table volunteers prior to the start of the event so that they’ll be able to answer simple questions, such as “where are the volunteer briefings?” or “where is the bathroom?”
  • It’s easiest to run the event on a “cash only” basis, but it’s important to coordinate with the Finance Chairman in advance of the event so that volunteers know how to handle questions such as “Can I use my MasterCard?” or “Can I write one check to cover all the officers in my club?”
