Colorado Extreme Creativity is planning to create a team to “Design the Future” of Colorado Extreme Creativity and Destination ImagiNation Colorado. This is an opportunity to examine where our organization has been, where it is now, and to set a course for the future to make our program even better. This will involve examining our mission and goals as well as our approach to presenting the DI program to participants throughout Colorado. We are looking for high-energy, open-minded, bold thinkers who are committed to our Destination ImagiNation Colorado program and are interested in being part of the team that will take on this Colorado DI Challenge. This team is not for the faint of heart but for those wanting to dig in and design an outstanding future for all Colorado DI participants.

Who are we looking for?
Team Managers, Team Members, Appraisers, Alumni, Parents, Challenge Masters, Regional Directors and Business People. We are looking for people from all geographic areas in Colorado. This needs to be a well rounded team with all areas of Destination ImagiNation Colorado represented.

What is the time commitment?
All participants must attend the State DI Retreat in Keystone on August 28th and 29th to begin work. They must also commit to monthly meetings thereafter. The team will work during this tournament season to create a vision that will be presented to the entire Destination ImagiNation Colorado community right after Global Finals in May, 2011. Participants from outside the Denver metro area can attend the monthly meeting virtually.

How do I sign up?
In order to make sure all areas of DI participation are well represented there will be an application process and team members will be selected from the pool of interested people. The applications will be emailed by August 1, 2010. The deadline for applying will be August 8, 2010. Team selection will be made by August 15, 2010. Our team will be limited to no more than 25 members.

If you have any other questions please feel free to
contact me.

Sincerely,

Debi Tipton – President, Colorado Extreme Creativity

Beginning January 1, 2010, interested parties can visit www.DisneyParks.com to register as a volunteer with DI. DI has many volunteer roles across all states that include helping during Tournament season and managing a DI team. Students can also participate by selecting DI’s Service Learning Challenge that focuses on affecting change in a community through music. DI will continuously update all volunteer opportunities at www.DisneyParks.com.

Volunteer opportunities for DI will continue throughout 2010. Volunteers are needed during the busy Tournament months between January and April, and adult Team Managers are needed for DI teams at the start of the 2010-11 season starting September 2010. To learn more about DI and volunteering, visit www.IDODI.org.

“The Give a Day Get a Disney Day program is the perfect way to become involved in Destination ImagiNation, and it will be a great recruitment campaign for attracting new volunteers,” said Dick Pinney, Executive Director, California Creativity Association. “We have seen DI grow through the dedication of our volunteers and hope participation in Disney’s program will help increase interest in our extraordinary after-school activity.”
