IUDM recruiting for 2011 committee members

Members of the IU Dance Marathon and each of its committees are sponsoring a callout meeting tonight to talk about IUDM, their goals for the 2011 marathon and answer any last minute questions.

Though committee member applications are due Friday — with interviews beginning next week — IUDM president Michael Essling said anyone interested is encouraged to attend.

“You don’t have to do IUDM, but if you’re interested or on the borderline, definitely come check it out,” Essling said.

The meeting is from 8 to 9 p.m. in Kelley School of Business 223.

Essling said the meeting will probably last between 30-45 minutes, but individuals are encouraged to stay after to talk with representatives of specific committees they could join.

Essling said the organization hopes to recruit at least 500 committee members for the
36-hour dance marathon this fall.

Participation in IUDM is not required for people to join a committee.

“People are more than welcome to come check it out if they’ve never done it before,” he said.
