department, which includes advertising, journalism, marketing, and public
relations.

Serve as PrideFest representatives during the festival and festival
promotional events for patrons, sponsors, V.I.P. guests, and media.
PR/Marketing Assistants are expected to attend regular monthly meetings
with the PrideFest Production Team and as needed with the PrideFest
Producer(s), Board of Directors, and the community at large. The time
commitment is dynamic. As with producing any festival, the commitment
is light at the beginning of the festival planning cycle and increases
as the festival draws closer. These are new positions so an estimate
of the time required is not available. It would be reasonable at this
time to expect to spend several hours per month until early spring,
with an increase after that. During festival weekend, PR/Marketing Assistants
are expected to be at the festival grounds for as many hours of operation
as is practical, and will assist other areas during the festival as
needed.
