About Our Mighty Volunteer Force

The Graphic Design & Marketing Team was comprised solely of virtual volunteers. The team members worked together to provide content design support for the Admin & Schedule Management,  Registration & Data Collection, and Meal Distribution  teams. Their contributions included, but aren't limited to, the designing of the Track Meet (2024) t-shirts, workshop door signs, feedback survey flyers, and meal voucher tickets for the summit's Pop-Up Cafeteria. They really brought the aesthetic and overall vibe of the summit to life.
