Workshop Monitors ensure presenters and participants have a positive experience - and are assigned in small groups (2-3 people) to specific workshops.
Volunteers will gather for an orientation to pick up their supplies, go over their roles and get their workshop assignments. Workshop descriptions will be posted at www.seattlemlkcoalition.org- arrive early to get assigned to your favorite one.
Volunteer pairs/triads will:
-
Make sure the room is unlocked and a sign with the workshop title is posted at doors.
-
Connect with the workshop presenters at the room location (presenters arrive 30 minutes before the workshops), and help arrange the room how the presenters want it
-
Ensure presenters have water and help with any other needs.
- Welcome workshop participants and see to any special needs participants may have (such as clearing a path for a wheelchair or working with hard-of-hearing technology).
- Circulate a sign-in sheet and an evaluation and turn both in at the end of the workshop.
- Help return the room to its initial configuration, picking up any materials left behind.
