TIMELINE

- NOW! - Get your team started. While you can start a team at any time, you'll have more success if you reach out to prospective team members sooner rather than later. The first step is completing our ever-so-quick Team Captain Survey so we can set you up in our registration system. You will hear back from us within a business day of completing this survey.

- Wed 4/15 - Online registration opens.

- Wed 5/6 - Team Captain Happy Hour - meet fellow team captains and project hosts, and select your team's project.
(Did you miss Happy Hour? NO WORRIES! Plenty of time to sign up, get a project and get your team rolling)

- Week of 5/26 - Send out a final recruitment push! Registration closes Monday 6/1. (For sponsors not utilizing our registration database, team rosters are due Friday, 5/29.)

- Tues, 6/2 noon-7pm - pick up t-shirts and check in materials from our office in Capitol Hill. (If you are at a project site, with multiple teams, only one per site needs to come by)

- Week of 6/1 - Send out a reminder to your team with directions to your project site, how to prepare (eat breakfast, wear sunscreen, etc.) and pump them up. We'll have an easy template for you to use.

- Sat 6/6 - Seattle Works Day - arrive at your project site 45 minutes early (11.15 am), check in with your project host, set up check-in materials and t-shirts, welcome your team, work hard, have fun, thank your team, drop off check in materials at the SWD AfterParty, kick-back and enjoy the rest of the day!
