Medical Support Team Lead Needed for Bike MS: Cactus & Crude Steering Committee
ORGANIZATION: National MS Society
Please visit the new page to apply.
Bike MS is the fundraising cycling series of the National MS Society and raises more money than any other cycling event for any other cause. To date, Bike MS cyclists, volunteers, and donors have raised more than $1.3 billion to stop MS in its tracks, restore what's been lost, and end MS forever. By volunteering, you can be a part of this growing movement!
We are in need of a volunteer to join our Steering Committee for our Cactus & Crude Event. This is a historic fundraising ride which raises over $100,000 dollars annually for those living with MS. The Steering Committee assists with the long-term planning of the ride in the months leading up to it.
The open position is for Medical Support Team Lead. This Volunteer Lead works closely with staff to recruit and manage certified first-aid volunteers to provide treatment along the route as needed. Assists staff in organizing medical/emergency resources for the event (ex. supplies, communication plan, coordination with support vehicles, etc.). Before the event, will contribute to pre-event safety training and work with staff and Supply Team Lead to ensure each location has an adequate amount of medical supplies. Licensed medical professional with connections in the community is strongly preferred.
This role is crucial in ensuring the safety of all staff, volunteers, and participants associated with the event. Must be available to volunteer half a day the week of the event, commit to serving both days during the event, and attend monthly committee meetings. Averages to ~2-3hrs per month leading up to event and ~20 hrs during event week (including the event and pre-event responsibilities).
