CITY OF GREATER GEELONG ANNUAL REPORT 2007-2008 Geelong Otway Tourism Geelong Otway Tourism has 130 enthusiastic volunteers who are the first point of contact for more than 190,000 annual visitors to the four Visitor Information Centres in Geelong. Volunteers provide a first point of face-to-face and phone contact for enquires to the centres. Along with this, the volunteers promote our region by staffing stands at major events and conferences and compiling information packs. The volunteers are also active in promoting Geelong and the region at events such as the Melbourne Show, leisure and holiday expos such as the Caravan and Camping Show and the Home and Leisure Show, along with answering over 20,000 telephone calls per year. In order to further improve the operation of our Volunteer Network, Council continues to conduct information sharing forums featuring guest presenters for our volunteer coordinators who ensure the smooth running of all of the City’s volunteer programs. Formally recognising the work of our volunteers continues to be important to the City with events such as a recognition ceremony and morning tea during National Volunteers’ Week. Internet information on volunteering at Council has been updated and improved, and we continue to work on strengthening our relationships with contacts in the broader Geelong volunteering network. For more information on volunteering with the City of Greater Geelong, please contact Organisation Development on (03) 5272 5272 or refer to: www.geelongaustralia.com.au. 63 Visitor Information Centre volunteers
