OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
There are many roles that require attention throughout the year. The Operations Committee prepares not only the August Festival, but also the Jazz Education Program, PEC Jazz Youth Ensemble, and many seasonal concerts in the community throughout the year. A number of the responsibilities might include programming, marketing and promotions, venue liaison, event organization, advertising and publications, and many other roles as the needs arise. If you're interested in finding out how you can contribute to the Festival operations, we would love if you'd reach out to us at [email protected].
AUGUST FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS
During the week of the Festival, the support of many people is needed to ensure the success of all of our events. We rely on volunteers for ticket and merchandise sales, green room support, drivers for our musicians, event setup and tear-down, and a number of errands that inevitably arise.
Volunteering during the festival is a great way to experience the festival more up-close and personally. The people we have behind the scenes are equally as important as the talent on stage. If you want to volunteer during the week of the festival, please contact us at [email protected].
