      The SCVOS Is Looking For A Hospitality Chair!
      Could that be you? We are looking for a Hospitality Chair — that friendly face at the door and the calm provider in our cheerful chaos.
      While we are juggling agendas, speakers are looking at their notes, and the show table is being set, we need someone whose superpower is a warm welcome - greeting new members as they walk in, helping them find a seat (and the coffee), and making sure no one feels like a lone orchid seedling in a room full of prize blooms.
      If you have got a knack for names, a smile that could coax a shy orchid into flower, and a few minutes at the start of each meeting to help new folks feel rooted, we would love to have you cultivate our community from the very first hello.
