[Noozhawk’s note: TEDxSantaBarbara makes its debut Aug. 20 at The New Vic Theater in downtown Santa Barbara. As part of the advance publicity, Noozhawk will be republishing Mark Sylvester’s e-letters.]
TEDxSantaBarbara is only possible through the tireless efforts of our volunteers. We’re looking to fill a few key positions that might be a perfect fit for you.
Our volunteer partners, Santa Barbara Hustlers for Humanity, are coordinating the volunteer effort. They’ve developed a great system for matching people to perfect positions.
We need some people to start working with us immediately. With only 11 weeks to go, you can imagine how much there is left to do.
If you have that volunteer spirit, a can-do attitude and want to be a part of our energetic community, then sign up and introduce yourself. Click here to join our Volunteer Program.
Thanks for the Great Speaker Ideas
We have tallied more than 60 applications from those who want to present their Idea Worth Spreading. Thank you all for the obvious thought that went into your two-minute videos.
We now begin working on viewing, evaluating and selecting. With only a few spots left to fill and an overwhelming response, we know some will be disappointed, but please keep us in mind for next year.
Our goal is to have talks worthy of the global stage that TEDx provides, while sharing inspiration with those in the audience this August. We will announce our schedule in a few weeks.
How You Can Help Today
