What does an being an Event Chair involve?

DogFest Chairs are responsible for the overall running of the DogFest event and managing the committee chairs. The DogFest chairperson is tasked with leading a committee of volunteers in the planning and execution of DogFest.

To maximize impact, we’d like you to serve a two-year term, mentoring a Chair-In-Training (or vice chair) in year two. Previous Event Chair for the past 3 years of event will be available to assist you in learning the process and job duties along the way.
