Meet Chris Quinn, this month’s USEA Volunteer of the Month. If you are local to the Aiken area, you’ve likely seen Chris out and about volunteering or taking photographs. Chris enjoys volunteering — and has tackled just about every volunteer job there is — because it gives her a chance to help her friends and fellow competitors enjoy the sport they share together.
“I have to think my favorite part of the sport is the helpfulness of all the competitors with each other, the support that they give each other, with no agenda other than goodwill,” Chris said in an interview with the USEA. You can read the full profile on Chris here — and don’t forget to nominate your favorite local volunteer for future recognition!
It’s time to gear up for another weekend of eventing, and we have three recognized events in need of volunteer help. We’re also going to start listing out upcoming events in the near future, as signing up early can help volunteer coordinators get organized more quickly. Don’t wait — sign up as soon as you can so that you can have first dibs on the job you want, and you’ll make your volunteer coordinator very happy! In addition, if you find yourself at an event with a couple hours to spare, stop by the show office and inquire about any help they may need. Chances are, they’ll take you up on the offer.
