The Olympic qualification system has created many high-level ad-hoc events that require a larger amount of team leaders than we have seen in previous years.
This means you may not be selected to be a team leader until later in the year when an event has been confirmed.
To apply for the position please submit the Team Leader Interest form which can be found here: https://forms.gle/VTdZCuPK7ku6GPFT7
Applications will be accepted starting on Tuesday December 29, 2020 and will be accepted through Monday January 18, 2021 at 8AM MT.
