This is a tough one to pin down, as it depends on the size of your event and if it is a silent auction or live auction. But, one of our experts says to look at the key components of an auction -- solicitation of items, database/catalog of items, venue, food and drinks, decorations, PR, tickets, donations and cash-out -- and plan on having a key person on each of those areas. Then, at different times throughout the process, you'll need additional volunteers. For example, you'll need several helpers for decorations, set up, etc. right before the event.
I have searched this website, but am not finding what I am looking for. Is there a link anywhere that gives a list of volunteers that you will need to run an auction fundraiser? I am looking for a "day of" list. I just want to make sure that I do not overlook a job before posting for volunteers.
