As a Volunteer of the Event, you are critical to our success. You also agree to follow these commonsense rules. The Code boils down to: be helpful and nice. More specifics are below. 1. Be polite. Our attendees are here to enjoy the Event but may be upset by something. Listen to the problem, get someone higher up to try to resolve it. 2. Dress Code: We have no formal dress code but ask that you not wear potentially offensive t-shirts, political items, or other things which may offend our guests and attendees. 3. At all times, you must wear your Badge, and it must be visible. 4. If you are under 21, you cannot possess alcohol of any sort. It’s the law. If are under the influence of any drug or are intoxicated while on duty, you will be removed from our Volunteer list, ejected from the Event, and may be barred from future events. 5. Show up for your shift a little early. 6. Your Volunteer Badge will be held at Registration or with your director. Don’t lose your Badge. 7. Although you are special to us, volunteering does not give special privileges. No priority seating, line breaking, etc. If you are not on duty, you have the same privileges and obligations as an attendee. 8. Get enough sleep and enough to eat. Other conventions have described a good rule of thumb for Volunteers to keep them functioning: the 6-3-1 daily rule: sleep 6 hours, eat 3 times, bathe 1 time. 9. Don’t be overwhelmed. This is intended to be fun for you as well. If you do not know something, ask. Many of our Volunteers have years of experience at our events and others. When in doubt, ask. 10. Have fun.
