Each Directorate Volunteer Management Chair (one for each Directorate)

The Volunteer Management Chair (one in each of the 14 Directorates) will work within their Directorate and sit as a member of a separate group of Volunteer Management Chairs (one from each Directorate) coordinated by the Volunteer Registration Chair (Participant & Volunteer Services). Within their Directorate, the Volunteer Management Chair (VMC) is essentially the Human Resources lead. In this capacity the Volunteer Management Chair will ensure that initial contact is made with other volunteers who have identified that they want to work in their Directorate. The VMCs will arrange for assignment of those volunteers to tasks within one of the Directorate Chair areas. They support their Directorate Chairs to ensure ongoing contact and communication is maintained with the volunteers assigned to their Directorate. As a member of the Volunteer Management Chair Committee, VMCs will discuss and assist with volunteer recruitment planning and strategies (i.e. developing plans for making the community aware of volunteer opportunities for the Games and implementing the plans (i.e. staffing volunteer registration booths at community functions, distribute posters, etc.). They will also assist with volunteer accreditation and badge distribution.
