OPTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES: Volunteer Liaison

Due to the skill set of our previous Manager, this position temporarily expanded some oversight and operational assistance for our volunteer program. Duties included attending monthly Volunteer Leadership and Concession/Gift Shop Team meetings, assisting Volunteer sub-committees with project and event support when needed, tracking volunteer hours and related reporting, and creating and analyzing survey data. These duties have been historically managed by our part-time Bookkeeping & Operations Assistant and would remain in collaboration should candidates be willing to engage with these additional duties.
