The Head of Volunteer Recruitment & Communications is the head coordinator and responsible for securing all volunteers and communications with volunteers and the committee for our 3 key events each year (put on in sister cities across the nation in Winter, Spring/Summer, Fall).

Duties may include but are not limited to:

1. Spearhead and execute the volunteer recruitment of 3 successful events in tandem with headquarters utilizing all Women In Comedy documents, timelines, and assignments.

For now, we are asking volunteer event coordinators to help us replicate and facilitate events in various cities. Our opportunities allow our volunteers to help remotely as well if they cannot physically be present.
