*[UNDERLINED (in Bold) positions require a substantial staff of assistants - i.e. Hospitality needs at least 6 people significantly involved.]
With some jobs the bulk of the work can be arranged to be on site and you can use an out-of-towner (i.e. Guest liaison, on-site programming).
If the person is already familiar with the facility an out-of-towner would be appropriate for Dealers, Bacchanal and/or Diplomatic Reception, A/V/Films boss - however; they must keep in touch with the core committee (especially Programming and Ops) and they must be reliable.
