Century Captain Information

Thank you for volunteering! The leadership of our captains and the enthusiasm of our volunteers is the reason our century events are successful.

Instructions

1. Review reports and information related to your job under Volunteer Jobs.
2. Email century-coordinator@slobc.org with any questions.
3. Email graphics@slobc.org with questions about or changes needed in any text, maps or other graphic information provided with your Job.
4. Develop a Task Timeline and Team Assignments & Schedule.
5. Download the Volunteer Report: Public available under Volunteer Process. The report will only provide names - no contact information. Email the volunteer-coordinator@slobc.org for the link to the spreadsheet containing all volunteer information.
6. Contact all your volunteers by email to welcome them to your team and confirm their participation.
7. Email the volunteer-coordinator@slobc.org if a team member withdraws so the position can be reopened for a replacement.
8. Schedule a meeting with your volunteers. This may be in person or via Zoom. It may be scheduled to occur just before your job starts. Make sure that you allow sufficient time to train your volunteers.
9. Encourage an atmosphere of cooperation and fun among volunteers.
10. Attend the Captain's Meeting held about a week and a half before the event. Clothing for each team will be given to each captain at this time.
11. Our insurance carrier requires us to submit a copy of their Century Incident Report (pdf) for all accidents as a condition of our policy. All captains working the day of the event should have copies of the report with them. It can be download and printed using the link above.
    It is much easier to complete the report at the time of the accident rather than after the ride. A lot of the requested information just involves checking a box, but having contact information for the injured, any witnesses and information on how and where the accident took place are critical items that are best obtained on site.
12. Use the Reimbursement Form for your expenditures.
13. A Captains Report link for each ride will be emailed to all captains the day after the event. The form must be completed and submitted prior to the Debriefing Meeting.
14. Update your Task Timeline and Team Assignments & Schedule and send a digital file to century-coordinator@slobc.org.
15. Bring your thoughts and recommendations to the Debriefing Meeting.
