What should the regional coordinator do to find hosts?
The regional coordinator should compile a list of members who are willing to volunteer as SIGHT hosts. It is wise to have a selection of hosts in each town or city that the Local Group represents. The more the merrier! However, a host may specify that transportation is not possible, or that volunteering their home is not something they wish to do, and the coordinator should make specific note of each host’s requests and limitations. A coordinator could bring the SIGHT program details to a Mensa gathering for discussion, ask for host volunteers and pass around sign-up sheets. A Regional Gathering would be an ideal time to select new hosts. Print the host registration form in the local newsletter and see how many responses are returned. Host registration forms can also be included in mailings or new member packets. Once a host has volunteered, the coordinator passes copies of the SIGHT forms to the host, including the guest evaluation form.
