4. DEVELOPING THE VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE <br /> Eugene Celebration volunteers are recruited, scheduled and supervised by other volunteers. <br /> The volunteer management team is the single most demanding committee of the entire event. <br /> Past surveys have indicated that the volunteer manager can expect to spend 200 -400 hours to <br /> fulfill the required duties. The staff works closely with the volunteer management team to insure <br /> that the volunteer management team stays on task, completes the necessary duties, and <br /> recruits and trains new committee members to replace outgoing committee members. <br /> 5. VOLUNTEER REWARDS AND RECOGNITION <br /> Providing adequate reward and recognition is critical to making volunteers know they are valued <br /> by the organization. Given the budget limitations, the Eugene Celebration staff and planners <br /> have needed to be creative about ways to recognize volunteers. Volunteers receive a badge <br /> that is honored like a pin for admission to the event during their non - volunteer time and one <br /> voucher per volunteer shift that is good for a free souvenir item (such as a poster or a key <br /> chain), a discount on a Celebration t -shirt, or entry into a prize drawing. The Celebration also <br /> provides some amenities on the weekend of the event, such as a portable restroom that is <br /> reserved for volunteers and free soft- drinks. The Celebration also published the name of each <br /> event volunteer in the thank -you ad that appeared in the Register -Guard after the event. <br /> • <br /> 2 <br /> II -28 <br />
