Interested in volunteering but how?

But whose the specific person? Just have them reach out the the RE of a region? I actually don't know.

Your problem is that it won't be the same position from region to region. In one region it will be the F&C chief. In another it will be the registrar or maybe one of the stewards or even someone in fire and rescue.

In most regions there is going to be one (or a few) gung-ho people but there's just no way to know who it is.

Your other problem is that if a potential volunteer contacts one of the non-gung-ho people they are going to get shrugs.

I'm thinking the best bet is point them to the RE. Chances are the RE will know who the gung-ho person is if it isn't them.

Oh man. This isn't as straight forward as I thought it was going to be / should be.

Hummm. Since there won't be a way to convince the regions to make a consistent change, how about recommending the prospective volunteer to contact all of the following people - best via email at the same time:

RE
F&C
Fire & Rescue
Others who may be organizing workers

It is a small complication for the volunteer, either a few Cc addresses in the email, or two extra phone calls - not really an obstacle. Add the remark: "If one shruggs you off or is not helpful, ignore that and ask the next person. Regions ALWAYS need volunteers, guaranteed."
