Dana,
I have an opportunity for potentially 1 or more volunteers to help the RCGA during the CN Canadian Women’s Open at the Media Centre throughout the week of August 7 – 11, 2006. It’s held at the London Hunt and Golf Club this year so close by for some of your students.
This would be a pretty basic position. Lots of photocopying and simple tasks that would keep the person busy – and it would be long hours over the entire event week. However – having said all this it is a great opportunity for a person to get inside the guts of a professional sport media centre, have access to see how it works behind the scenes, will see in action several media conferences, work with a lot of local media as well as national and international media that attend the event. We have 3 professional staff onsite the week and each of us is approachable to help answer questions that they may have.
We really need someone who can jump in to the fold and just volunteer some time to observe how things go and do a lot of odd jobs around the centre – ideally someone who is not afraid of some hard work and is keen to understand/learn the industry. Again – it will be pretty mindless work but very very important to us and making a professional media centre.
If you know of someone or can help out ASAP – let me know!
Thanks,
Mike
