Most of us consider ourselves accidental entrepreneurs. Many of us stepped into hosting because our desire for enhanced income security matched with our passion for welcoming and caring for guests. Beyond that we now want to hone our skills for business, building community, bridging cultural differences and raising our levels of professional practice. You will find that Host2Host offers you many ways to self-educate, as well as to join groups of like minded individuals.

Join the Education Committee today!

Responsibility

Delivering information to our members focused on optimizing  their hosting experience is a critical function of our organization and these efforts are carried out by the Education Committee. This group of volunteers oversees the content development and executes events for members, whether in-person or remote.

Topics for future events are determined, speakers identified, format solidified, and schedules formalized. During events Education Committee members host the event to facilitate a constructive conversation - this may be in a Q&A or a breakout room format, for example.

Helpful Skills

• Experience hosting events, whether in a formal or informal environment.
• Interest in delivering educational content to fellow members that help them host more effectively.
• Comfort drawing connections between the needs of the event and the resources available to our organization to fill those needs.
• Familiarity with online video meetup tools like Zoom and Google Meet.

Time Commitment

• Expect to volunteer 1 - 3 hours per month depending upon upcoming events and your capacity and interest in working on additional projects.
• Meetings are held once-a-month on the Friday before an event at 10:30am.
