APPLICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS

Operations Staff: This group of staff members typically consists of alumni from the previous Seminar year. The "Op-Staff" is responsible for all of the behind-the-scenes operations at the Seminar. Members of this staff have many responsibilities including greeting ambassadors, escorting ambassadors through registration and assisting with luggage, leading PMA throughout the Seminar, greeting guests and speakers, setting up rooms for panels and other various events, loading and unloading of supplies and equipment at offsite locations, assisting WV HOBY Office with various tasks including stuffing packets, and much, much more!  Op-Staff members will be assigned to specific roles or teams during the Seminar including Mr. and Ms. PMA, Photography, Panel & Room Set-Up, or Greeter of Speakers and Guests.

Application Process: Op-Staff applicants will be required to complete the Application for Operations Staff 2008. The application must be recieved by April 4, 2008.  Late applications will only be considered if there are positions remaining.  A minimum of 12 alumni will be accepted. Applications are reviewed and scored by the Staff Selection Committee. Notifications will be sent out via e-mail (or by mail if you do not have e-mail access) by April 8, 2008. Instructions for submitting the application are included in the packet.

Jared Ciesla is the Director of Facilitators for the 2008 WV HOBY Seminar. As Director of Facilitators, Jared will be the primary point-of-contact for all staff. He will send you seminar related communications, staff packets and provide staff training on Wednesday night before the seminar. Once at seminar, the Op-Staff will be led by the co-directors of Operations, Greg Hughes and Rick Pritt.

Each and every HOBY is a great candidate, a hard worker and a leader in their community!  The decisions made by the Staff Selection Committee are not made lightly. We value you and hope that you will continue your involvement in WV HOBY for years to come. You are the future of this organization.
