We are seeking volunteers for the planning committee for the Cardinal Classic 2026. The planning committee—called a Local Organizing Committee (LOC) – is responsible for planning and executing all aspects of the competition. We are a fun group that meet once a month starting in January (via Zoom) until the competition, scheduled for May 29-31, 2026. We are looking for volunteers to help on committees. We have lots of experienced LOC members but want to build out our bench to include more of our fabulous club volunteers.
Committees: Awards, Hospitality, Medical, Music Officials, Program, Registration, Set Up, Technology, Volunteer Recruitment. AND, if anyone is interested in co-leading the entire effort, Melissa would LOVE to have a co-chair.
For more information or to volunteer for a committee, contact melissa@scnv.org.
