VOLUNTEER OFFICE HOURS
Effective Monday, February 3, 2025

We, Miami Valley Communications Council (MVCC), appreciate all the time, effort, and creativity you (our volunteers/producers) donate to enable us to provide quality programming to our community. Thank you all.

Due to restructuring within the Volunteer and Government departments, volunteer office and class hours may vary due to scheduled city council meetings, scheduled productions, vacations, holidays, and/or other special productions.

1. Volunteers/Producers will need to call or email the Volunteer Coordinator, in advance to reserve an editing bay, the studio, podcast and/or equipment for pickup during designated office hours. A 24- to 72-hour grace period confirmation will be sent in response to the volunteer’s request (depending on weekends, holidays, vacations, special productions).

2. Volunteers/Producers with basic needs (editing, podcast, equipment pickup, etc.) may be aided by the MVCC staff working the early morning hours only with prior approval and confirmation.

3. Volunteers/Producers who come in on days of scheduled city council meetings and/or a special production will be given a verbal 30-minute notice saying they will need to wrap up their projects/productions.

4. In the event a Volunteer/Producer who “No Call/No Show” after one hour of their scheduled appointment, they will surrender their appointment for the day.

5. Volunteers/Producers utilizing MVCC equipment must submit their completed project within a 3 month (90-day period) of their first (equipment pickup, studio shoot, podcast recording, editing session) unless they receive prior confirmation/approval from the Volunteer Coordinator or the Programing Supervisor for an extension in order to complete their project.

6. Volunteers/Producers with scheduled appointments will have priority for the use of MVCC equipment and facilities.

7. As a professional courtesy to others, Volunteers/Producers must clean up after themselves before they leave for the day. Please put away set pieces, turn off the lights, turn off TriCaster, turn off computers and monitors, put away microphones, audio cables, chairs, etc.

8. We, MVCC, request all Volunteers/Producers log their hours after concluding their project/production for the day. (Whether editing, studio production, field production, podcast, sports events, concerts, parades, etc.)

9. Volunteers/Producers need to complete at least two projects or have at least fifteen service hours (Studio productions, parades, concerts, sports events, podcast sessions, editing) a year to keep their MVCC volunteer/producer certification active.

To schedule equipment pickup/drop off, studio, podcast or editing time, please call Mike Sopronyi at 937-424-1669 or send an email at ten.ccvm@iynorposm
