Hospitality Coordinator

Hospitality Coordinator
The First Day/Hospitality Coordinator is responsible for welcoming new and returning conferees to Arts in a variety of ways:

1. Shoal-mates – Shoal-mates is a program through which conferees new to Arts may be paired up with a veteran conferee. The veteran conferee helps the new Arts conferee to get cclimated to the Island in myriad ways. Age is a factor when making pairs.

2. New Shoalers Orientation and Tour – This tour occurs on arrival day and is mandatory for anyone new to Arts. It provides an overview of where facilities and meeting places are located. Contact Arts Registrar.

3. Cookies on the porch – Once the conference boat arrives at Star Island, cookies and refreshments are served on the porch of the Oceanic near the main entrance. Contact those who volunteered to help serve as the “welcome wagon” as greeters and for setting up/cleaning up cookies. Any cookies left over should be stored in Newton, and may be served at social hours or the farewell party. Note: if we decide to not have volunteers bring cookies, trays of cookies can be ordered from the island on the food order form.

4. Portsmouth Hospitality – Be a visible and vocal presence at the dock in Portsmouth, welcoming new and returning conferees and passing out name tags. You may need to answer questions as well.
