Introduction

[KTS Admin]

Hi Round the Mountain Team,

For those of you that don't know me, I'm Anna, the new Executive Administrator for KTS. I don't have a contract yet so haven't officially started, but it sounds like it is paramount that I get up to speed with Round the Mountain as soon as possible. 

First, is there anyone connected to this email who is no longer involved with RTM? If so, I will remove you from the group so that you no longer receive these emails. Is there anyone new to the organizing team who I should add to these emails? 

As I am new to this role, I will be playing a lot of catch up, especially because it sounds like planning for this year's event is well underway. If you all have any resources, specific tasks, etc. that you are able to share with me, I would appreciate it. On my end, I will look through old emails, resources I can find on Google Drive, etc. to gain as much knowledge as possible to get caught up. 

Looking forward to working with you. 

Best, 

- Anna Malvin

Welcome to the team Anna! Happy to have you on board. 

Maybe a spring meeting is in order to see where everyone is at and help Anna get up to speed. Any preferences in the next few weeks?

Thanks! I prefer to meet Wednesdays (9:00-3:00) or Fridays (9:00-1:00), but am also available most Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings, and some Monday evenings from 7:00 onwards. 

As I've tackled some RTM emails and updates today I have a few questions/comments that have come up: 

- Should we create a waitlist in case it sells out? There were a lot of questions about a waitlist from people who thought it was sold out from the early bird mix up. If so, I can put one together in Zone4 if given access to the back end. 

- Just curious-- why is the waiver signing separate from the registration? Would it make more sense to have it integrated so the waiver is automatically signed when people register? 

- On the website it says there is a $10 fee if someone wants to change their registration. How do we implement this? Do they just e-transfer this email?

- Is the KNC lodge booked for the volunteer orientation? 

- The legacy fund page on the website maybe needs to be updated for this year? The link on that page to apply to the scholarship doesn't do anything. 

- The website mentions a pre-order option for hats and socks, however there is nowhere to do so on the Zone4 registration page. Is this something that needs to be fixed? Again, I'm happy to tackle if given access to the back end. 

- Is anyone checking/responding to the in...@roundthemountain.ca email? If so, on emails where we are both cc'd could you cc me in your reply so that I know you've replied and I don't double reply? 

Best, 

Anna Malvin (she/her)

Hi All,

Most Wednesdays , and getting together next week after the long weekend would even work.

One thing that we should discuss is whether to bring back the Trail Running FIlm Festival this spring to support RTM and KTS.

We decided to wait until we saw what the film line-up would be - and now it's out.   https://trailfilmfest.com/films/

You'll see that one of the films is our own locally made "Becky Bates, Not a Running Story" , which of course would be a big draw even if many locals saw it as part of the Banff Film Festival.

I stopped in and checked with Centre 64 and got a few dates that may work for us, a few that are open are Friday May 15th or either the Friday June 5 / Saturday June 6th evenings.

Also we should discuss on how to publicize / make available 'Spirit of the Event" - as it's been chosen for the Vancouver International Mountain Film Fest world tour.

Does 6:45 work? I work at KNC until 6:30 so that's the earliest I could make it.
