Wordstock 2008

As you are certainly aware, Wordstock is one of the Portland's most high-profile cultural events and the biggest celebration of books and literature in the Pacific Northwest. Wordstock is also a volunteer-run event, and we are looking for approximately 10 thoughtful, energetic, and driven volunteers to complete our Leadership Team. These individuals will work closely with the Executive Director and the rest of the Leadership Team in planning the 2008 festival, which will be held November 8-9, 2008, at the Oregon Convention Center.

Below is a listing of the leadership positions we are seeking to fill:
• Volunteer Coordinator

• Exhibit Coordinator

• Wordstock for Writers Coordinator

• Wordstock for Teachers Coordinator

• Ticket Sales Coordinator

• Marketing Coordinator & Webmaster

• Emcee Coordinator

• Merchandise Coordinator

• Children's Area Coordinator

How to Apply

Working with the Wordstock Leadership Team is an opportunity for community service, cultural promotion, making contacts in the literary community, and having great fun. We are thrilled that over half of the Leadership Team that made the 2007 festival such a success is back again to help in 2008, and hope you (or someone you know) would be a great addition to this year's team.

Wordstock is accepting applications for these positions through Friday, March 28. Please email your resume, along with a brief description of which position you're interested in and the number of hours of week you would be available to volunteer, to Greg Netzer, the festival director.
