Best Friends Animal Society is looking for volunteers who are passionate about animals, fundraising and event planning to join the leadership planning committee in your community for the trademark Strut Your Mutt event series. This will require a 7-8 month commitment of your time. Volunteers will work on a committee with other passionate and talented individuals guided by Best Friends Animal Society event staff.
The Walk Course Coordinator creates the walk route (~2 miles with a shorter 1 mile option) and secures necessary permits from the city and event venue, assisting with other permitting needs for the event as needed. Secures staffing needed (through volunteers and city officials where required) to safely execute the walk for all event attendees. Additional responsibilities will include fulfilling course entertainment, reporting volunteer and signage needs to the appropriate committee members, and fulfilling an aid station mid-course. Other responsibilities crucial to the success of the event include establishing a parking plan and managing the team supply list. The Walk Course Coordinator also acts as the primary backup for the Event Director when they are unavailable for the team, and works closely with them on the overall layout and flow of the event.
The 2016 Minneapolis/St. Paul Strut Your Mutt event is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, September 11th, with the exact location TBD.
