The Northwest EcoBuilding Guild (http://www.ecobuilding.org/) is recruiting volunteers, ages 21 to 80 to be Greeters for 3 – 4 hour shifts at the April 28-29, 2018 NW Green Home Tour (NWGHT) (http://www.nwgreenhometour.org/) The NW EcoBuilding Guild has been a green building educational pioneer in the Pacific Northwest (with chapters in Seattle, Spokane, Portland and Olympia) for the past 20 years. Its mission is:
… to support through education the progressive work of our members in the Pacific Northwest in order to improve the relationship between our communities and our built environment.
The NWGHT is an annual self-guided tour, organized by the Guild and its green built environment experts to showcase energy-efficient, sustainable construction and spark ideas for more. The tour generally includes two dozen sites which have several “green” features, often numerous innovations.
Greeters are the face of the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild on this day. The homeowner(s), contractors and vendors will also be present. Your role as a Greeter is to make guests comfortable and answer questions if you can. A second, vital role is to track attendance and ensure that everyone coming into the venue has signed a waiver as part of their ticket acquisition. The waiver is essential to protect the venue (homeowner) and the Guild from liability. Detailed instructions and materials will be provided.
Greeters give the following:
- Attendance at a (strongly encouraged) training and networking event April 18 in the evening.
- Four to eight hours of their time on April 28 or 29, 2018. The tour is 11 am-5 pm and there are 2 shifts per day with some overlap between the morning and afternoon shifts.
Greeters get the following:
- Face time with green building team of the site;
- One free ticket per Greeter to tour the other venues on the Green Home Tour;
- A 2018 Chinook Book crammed with offers and coupons from green businesses in greater Seattle;
- Fun!
- Massive amounts of good karma; and
- Exposure to the membership and leadership of the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild, a source of ideas, networking, jobs and enthusiasm.
