LBAF Event Advisory Group:

The Foundation prides itself in collaborating with other non-profits, businesses and the city.   We are always looking for community members who wish to become part of a dynamic team.  Volunteers are the "Life Blood" of the Foundation. The truth is without the numerous people who volunteer for the Long Beach AIDS Foundation, we could not conduct, any programs, events or AIDS Walk. Over 9000+ volunteer hours are donated by our core volunteer group to the Foundation annually. Meetings are generally once a month and last 90 minutes.

The Event Advisory Group is a  vital team who act as leaders in ensuring all event planning and logistics are managed. These leaders demonstrate extraordinary ability to manage and lead their team in achieving the goals of each event. A representative from every funded agency also has a seat on the Event Advisory Group.  However, beneficiary agencies are not allowed to chair any key positions to avoid any potential conflict of interest issues.

The Event Advisory Group consists of committee members, who chair sub-committees that consist of teams implementing their operational plans and objectives as an integral part of all events. Each committee operates on a separate timeline from the master timeline of the Foundation. Some committees and sub-committees meet separately more often throughout the year depending on their function.

Sub-committee may consist of other community citizens outside of the Event Advisory Group. An example would be the Beneficiary Chair who has a seat on the Event Advisory Group but chairs a team of 10 sub-committee members who are charged with carrying out the function of reviewing RFPs, site visits, audits, assessments and preparing recommendations and reports for Board approval.

The following chair positions make up some of the seats on

the Events Advisory Committee:

Beneficiary Chair · Teams Development Chair · Marketing Chair · First AID Chair

Corporate Partnerships Chair · Logistics Chair ·  Media Relations Chair  

Volunteer Chair · Security & Safety Chair · Finance Chair · Silent Auction Chair

Entertainment Chair · Communications Chair · Event Design Chair · Registration Chair

Site Set-up Chair · Database Chair · On-line Processes Chair · Heroes Club Chair

Pet Walk Chair · Health Expo Events Chair · Golf Classic Chair

All committee members are required to sign a 'Code of Ethics' policy and a 'Conflict of Interest' declaration to ensure an operational culture of governance above reproach. The Event Advisory Group provides a mentoring transition from year to year for all re-occurring events.  Community members wishing to become a Board member are suggested to participate in the Event Advisory Group. As with all volunteer positions, a volunteer survey is conducted regularly or after exiting from service.
