[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m assuming the event is staff is contracted. Can the meet directors just ask for her to be replaced with another contractor employee?[/quote]

It’s some company called CSC. I think they are contracted by UMD, not the meet directors[/quote]

The point is that her job is security and not being the meet director or volunteer coordinator.  Why is she managing volunteers? Calling for more timers? Deciding when volunteers should be there and when they can go in? She acts like she’s running the show instead of the support role that she’s supposed to fulfill. As others has said, many other meets at many other facilities run just fine with the meet director and their staff managing these things and facility staff and security taking care of their small piece of the puzzle without interfering with meet operations. I seriously watched her radio to someone (announcer?) about how many more timers were needed and whether her staff could open the spectator seating upstairs (due to having said timers).  Why the heck is that her job??[/quote]
The meet directors of the meets at UMD have made that her job. Sure they could recruit for yet another volunteer to fill the volunteer coordinator role, but it is easier for them to continue to let her do it. The meet directors have all decided on this policy of keeping the viewing area closed until they have enough volunteers, and they need a way to enforce that. Someone needs to communicate from the volunteer check in area to the people managing entry upstairs. There are plenty of things you can fault this lady for (yes, making a 10 year old cry for being too early is insane) but this isn’t one of them. [/quote]
