The 'Call for Guides' form is available in printable format . The United States is hosting the International Mathematical Olympiad in July 1-14, 2001. The event will be held in Washington, DC, and the Local Arrangements Committee invites applications for the position of guide.
Guides are responsible for hosting a team of six students and two coaches.
They will meet the team at the airport, stay with them in dormitories and accompany them on all planned excursion, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and the Farewell Banquet from July 1 through 14. Duties will include responding to the needs of the contestants and their leaders, and making them feel comfortable and welcome during their stay in Washington. They will also be invited to all excursions and dinners during the event. Perhaps more important than these rewards, guides frequently form lasting personal relationships with their guests from abroad. Guides will arrive in Washington on July 1 for a two-day training session, and leave on July 14 at the conclusion of the program.
