What is an Organizer?

Organizers can be Reps, Teachers, Fraternity President's, Students Council, etc... They are a special traveler (Organizer) or group of travelers (Many Organizers) who are in charge of the group and have a special role of bringing their friends and others on the trip. Normally they are a paid traveler with the group, not a staff.

Interest List

Organizers are able to monitor a travelers status using the Interest List. This gives Organizers the ability to see who hasn't signed up yet, what room travelers are in, and traveler contact information. It minimizes the need for communication between the Organizer and the Trip Planner.

Organizers Can Invite Travelers

For an Organizer to add prospective travelers to an Interest List, they will follow these steps:

1. Login to My Profile

2. Under My Trips Click on View & Upload Interest List under the Organizer section

3. Click on Invite Travelers (Next to Interest List)

4. Complete the form with the contact details and click Add Contact
