Keep track of individual volunteers:
I think we should keep a file (probably a Google Doc template) for each individual volunteer. This would help us get people caught up if they're coming into the process late, and help us remember a volunteer's context when they reach out to us for information. The file would keep track of:


*What training is this person signed up for?

It would be awesome to be able to keep track of individuals this way, but it could be a lot of work. This year we have 73 volunteers; I think it would be nice to have a Volunteer Liasion for every 20 people

Keep track of all the tidbits of information that need to go out, and draft them into nice emails (copy editing). Make a Google Sheet to collect the emails of everyone who should get that email, and poke Volunteer Liaisons to get that sheet up to date before they send out the communication.
Write the updates to the webpage and the emails that will go out to many people. The main task here is to write really clearly and concisely.
