Geeks and Suits Wanted

Dear Geeks and Suits,

It is hard to believe that 4 months have past since we crowned Property Guys the 2006 Geeks on Ice champions at the Moncton 4 Plex. The event was a tremendous success for the Moncton non-profit organization Support for Single Parents. The goal of the event is to serve as a networking catalyst and promotion of knowledge industry firms and professionals from all over Atlantic Canada with a goal to promote health and wellness in the knowledge industry while raising funds to purchase computers, peripherals and software for non-profit organizations.

After taking a much needed break for the summer, rumors have begun running rampant as to when or if the 2007 edition of GOI will take place. The Geeks on Ice committee is currently recruiting for a few good "Geeks and Suits" to fill the voids left by some of the committee members who have decided to move on after 3 years. We are currently looking for individuals who want to be involved in a fun and dynamic volunteer environment. Geeks on Ice doesn't just offer participants and committee members an opportunity to meet likeminded individuals from all over Atlantic Canada, it also promotes health and wellness within the knowledge sector while making a positive impact in the community for which we all live and work. To get ready for 2007, we need individuals to fill the following roles:

• Committee Chair (Possibility of 2)



As committee chair, you are responsible for the overall operations of the event. You are a natural at presenting to the public the importance of such an event within our community while working with key community and industry players . The chair(s) will also be the face of the event within the community and oversees all aspects of each sub committee in planning the event.

• Marketing Chair



As marketing chair, you will play a vital role in developing relationships with various sponsors as well as working with the local and national media to garner attention for the event. The chair is responsible for all media engagements, press releases, Geekfest and maintenance of the website.
