​​​THE CAVORT CONFERENCE BRIGHT IDEAS COLLECTION

​A valuable aspect of CAVORT events has been the opportunity to network with sister theatres about their volunteer experiences.  One way to engage in such sharing is the Bright Ideas feature.  Bright Ideas not only showcase a theatre’s volunteer endeavors but also provide ideas on which other theatres might capitalize. CAVORT members are invited to submit their Bright Ideas prior to each event. 

All genres of projects are welcome: fundraising, working with volunteers, or even a novel thought that will enhance a volunteer’s experience or an organization’s function. There are no restrictions in terms of topics. Anything goes: fundraising projects, outreach, membership recruitment and retention, rewarding volunteers, theatre service projects, one-of-a-kind special projects. All ideas are welcome, whether large or small.

Each member is encouraged to submit at least one Bright Idea for each event, and multiple submissions are welcome. 

Submissions for each event will be compiled into a Bright Ideas booklet that will be distributed to registrants. 

Each event's host theatre will publish specific guidelines for its Bright Ideas submissions in its newsletters and on the CAVORT website. 

After each event, the submitted Bright Ideas will be added to the CAVORT website’s Bright Ideas Archive preserving your ideas for the benefit of future volunteers. When you’re at the next event, we’d love to know if your theatre has used a Bright Idea submitted in the past.
