LOC Rep |
Local organizing committee (LOC). Performs team-assigned VASRA job.Each VASRA member school is assigned a Local Organizing Committee (LOC) position, which involves ongoing responsibilities with extended time commitments. Justice High School has been assigned the role of Concessions Coordinator for the regatta season. To help distribute the workload, we encourage multiple families to share this responsibility.
The Concessions Coordinator must be present at the regattas for the entire day to oversee the setup, operation, and takedown of the concession stands, which will involve additional volunteers (please note, volunteer coordination is managed separately by VASRA). This role is straightforward, requires no prior experience, provides a great opportunity to support the team, and to experience the regattas. In recognition of the time commitment, participants will receive a partial reimbursement of their membership dues. |
