Did you want to attend the March 2023 Major Workshop with Brenda Swenson but found to your disappointment that the Workshop was fully enrolled? In exchange for serving as Workshop Coordinator, you would be compensated with a complimentary seat in the Workshop.*
The Workshop Coordinator plans and carries out the logistics of the Workshop, which requires time and effort before, during and after the Workshop.

- setting up the classroom at the start and end of each day
- preparing coffee and organizing snacks
- organizing daily lunch period
- facilitating participant introductions at outset of the Workshop
- familiarizing participants with safety exits, masking requirement, and classroom-comportment protocols
- assisting the Artist-Instructor as required, e.g., refreshing Artist's water, timekeeping, driving the projection camera to ensure Instructor's work is visible to the class
- monitoring the classroom, identifying real-time needs and taking corrective actions
- maintaining order and enforcing students' adherence to safety, masking and comportment protocols
- gathering student and Instructor feedback
- preparing a post-Workshop report for the Board of Directors.
Skills, knowledge and experience required:
- membership in WAS-H
- proficiency in planning and organizing
- proficiency in spoken and written communications
- proven leadership
- willingness and ability to enforce rules and regulations
- completion of WAS-H's Class Monitor training or willingness to learn
