Invitation to Become a Business Coordinator

Who?

Anyone who works in a business, institution, store, organization, or otherwise, can do it!

What?

As a Green Streets Business Coordinator you are responsible for reminding people about upcoming Walk/Ride Days, organizing some kind of celebration or incentive for that day, and distributing Walk/Ride Day surveys.  That's it!

Estimated Time Commitment:

  • a few emails
  • a blurb in your newsletter (if you have one)
  • posting some flyers
  • occasionally a survey to distribute by email.
  • and some kind of reward offered by your organization
  • That's it!

Estimated Rewards and Results... inestimable.  (We know we sound like a here unnamed popular ad campaign, but we're serious!)

Not a lot of retail sponsors in your area? Recruit more using our retail sponsor sign up form!! Download 1_page_sponsoremployer_signup.pdf

How?

Contact us and let us know who you are and who your business is.  Then we will provide you with all the materials you need to survive as a Walk/Ride Day Coordinator. 

We can also help you come up with an incentive that fits your organization (we've seen everything from apples, to get out of work early cards).

Alternatively you can visit our "Business Coordinator's Resources," (below) and download what you need. But please let us know you are participating so that we can keep track of what is happening out there!

We can be reached at Walk-Ride-Days@comcast.net
