VOLUNTEER DESCRIPTIONS Team Captain This position requires previous volunteer experience at the Exelon Invitational. There will be two captains for the Marshals & the Ball Spotters. There will be one captain for every other group of positions. Captains will meet with their group of volunteers one hour before their positions take affect on the day of the event. They will be responsible for assigning breaks and taking care of emergencies. Every captain will have a radio and some will have golf carts. Captains will be required to be fully trained on their responsibilities prior to the event by attending a pre-event meeting and be on-site at 8am the day of the event. Ball Spotters This position is important to the continuity of play. These volunteers will be responsible for watching the path of every shot and determining where it lands. If the ball travels into the gallery or the rough volunteers will be responsible for finding it and keeping spectators away from it. You will be inside the ropes! Traffic Detail The free flow of traffic into the event will be very important, as it will be the first impression spectators receive of the Exelon Invitational. A professional service will be hired to run this operation; these volunteers will assist them in their duties. Ticket Taker/Will Call Table These volunteers will ensure everyone that enters the Exelon Invitational has a valid ticket and gets a wristband. They will also be required to provide directions to spectators. Flier Distribution These volunteers will distribute fliers, programs and provide information and directions to spectators at entrances. Hospitality Greeter At the entrance to the hospitality area greeters will meet all guests, take hospitality passes & provide guests with a new wristband that allows for entrance into the hospitality area. Volunteers will also point guest to the proper area or tent. Expo Tent These volunteers will assist the Expo Area with any needs vendors may have throughout the day. Public Relations Tent These volunteers will work with the press with sign in and handing out press kits. They may also be required to speak on or about Exelon, Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, the event and/or the players. We ask that anyone that signs up for this position have a public relations background. Two "drivers" will also be needed to take press to and from holes on the course. Floaters These volunteers will be available for any task that is asked of them. They may start at traffic and end at break down. Some marshaling may be required. Course Set-up These volunteers will participate in making the course ready for the Exelon Invitational in the week preceding the event (May 26 - June 1). Tasks include hanging banners, changing course flags, roping of course, icing drinks, set-up of expo tents, running various errands, and the list goes on! Course Tear down These volunteers will participate in putting the course "back together" after the Exelon Invitational. Tasks include disposing of garbage, handing out surveys, boxing unused supplies, general clean-up, directing spectators to exits and more. Volunteers will be needed immediately following the event and the following day, Tuesday, June 3, 2008.
