Commissioners to Participate as 'Ambassadors' in Summer Events; Volunteer Strategy Shifts to Mobile Engagement
The commission discussed volunteer participation for various summer events, including Thursday night concerts, cruise nights, and car shows. A 'wandering ambassador' approach, where volunteers wear branded shirts and engage with attendees, is favored over setting up tents, due to logistical ease and potentially wider reach. Commissioners expressed interest in participating in these events. Plans for promoting volunteerism, entertainment, and vendors at future events were also discussed, with a QR code to be added to generic flyers linking to a central webpage.
