Become a Volunteer

If you are interested, please review the role description below, and then sign up on the Registration page by clicking on “Volunteer as leader” under the yellow button. (https://wilmington.dinerenblanc.com/register)
 
Table Leaders are the “face of the event”. Your primary task is to help answer your guest’s questions before the event, and to lead them on the night. If you have never volunteered before, that’s fine, an experienced “Group Leader” volunteer will assist you, and will be your primary contact. If you have any questions, you can ask your Group Leader at any time.
 
Our Table Leaders have a great time! It’s not all work, and you get to enjoy the night, just like everyone else. So if you want to contribute to this magical event, please register your interest to volunteer.
 
Below are some details about being a Table Leader. We will also be holding a Celebratory Welcome Event to mingle with other volunteers, learn from their experience, and have a few drinks and some delicious food.
 
Your role
Your main role is to:
  • Communicate with a group of guests
  • Communicate with up to 30 guests (members)
  • Communication before and after the event is via email, to 30 guests
