Open Roles

We have four core focus areas, each led by one dedicated board member who owns it from start to finish — plus a paid contractor opportunity for anyone who wants to take on sponsor acquisition specifically. Training is provided on all tools. Every application includes a short, friendly conversation with our team before a seat is confirmed — just so it’s a great fit on both sides.

Role 01

Community Outreach, Vendor Relations & In-Kind Sponsors

Relationship-Focused

You are the face of the Expo in the community. You will attend networking events, build partnerships with organizations like Vitalant and SBDC, actively recruit vendors (yes, that includes phone calls), and manage our in-kind sponsor relationships from commitment through day-of delivery.

⏱ 1–2 hrs/wk early on — up to 5–8 hrs/wk near the Expo
  • Confident communicator in person and on the phone
  • Self-motivated with strong follow-through
  • Relationship-first mindset

Role 02

Event Production & Logistics

Operations-Focused

You keep the event from falling apart. You will manage production contracts, coordinate pipe and drape setup, own the floorplan logistics, and lead our full volunteer program — from recruitment and training all the way through Expo weekend.

⏱ 1–2 hrs/wk early on — up to 4–6 hrs/wk near the Expo
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail
  • Calm under pressure with leadership presence
  • Comfortable working with contracts and logistics

Role 03

Guest Experience & Programming

Hospitality + Programming

You make the Expo feel exceptional. You will manage speakers and panelists, build the master event schedule and run-of-show, oversee attendee check-in, coordinate vendor lunches, and plan and execute our VIP Lounge from concept through setup.

⏱ 1–2 hrs/wk early on — up to 5–8 hrs/wk near the Expo
  • Hospitality mindset — every detail matters to you
  • Detail-oriented planner with strong communication skills
  • Flexible and calm when plans change last minute

Role 04

Colorado Strong Competition Lead

Competition Management

You own the Colorado Strong Fitness Competition from start to finish. You will manage athlete registration and communications, coordinate judges, build the competition schedule, and deliver a first-class competitor experience across all five divisions, including the Wheelchair and Open Pride divisions.

⏱ 1–2 hrs/wk early on — up to 4–6 hrs/wk near the competition
  • Passionate about fitness and competition culture
  • Organized with strong follow-through on communications
  • Inclusive mindset — every competitor deserves a great experience

You identify, pitch, and close upper-tier sponsorships ($5,000–$20,000+) for the Expo. Commission-only, independent contractor — no salary, no cap. This isn’t booth-space selling — we’ve built a sponsor experience unlike anything else in the region.

⏱ Commission-only — no salary, no cap — ongoing annual role
  • Proven track record in B2B sales or sponsorship acquisition
  • Self-motivated, comfortable without a base salary
  • Confident communicator at any level
