It starts way before most of the other positions and lasts after the other positions. It takes the whole planning committee to help with recruitment - both within the existing community of FIRSTers as well as reaching out to new people. And all the VC's in a District need to be able to communicate with each other unless you have a system full of silos.
Thanks for the sounds advice Jenny!

Can you elaborate on the role of the VC in districts?

How do they communicate volunteer needs across events?

Is there a different VC for every district event, or do some perform the role of VC at multiple events?

Is there one "master VC" in the district to help coordinate all the volunteer efforts within the district?

Thanks!
