When adding a reservation to SPC calendar, add an "ability to open/close SPC" checkbox GHPR2742
Facility and Volunteers don't have a clear system for ensuring there is a person on site who can open and close the facility. Under the current system, staff must manually follow-up with each leader or make assumptions about event overlaps and if there is going to be someone that can open/close the facility.
I'd like to see a required checkbox on the add event page that asks:
"Will there be someone that is familiar and able to open and close the program center during this event?" If no, or unsure, please contact the facility staff at spc@mountaineers.org"
We then…

Note major jewish, christian and muslim holidays on online calendar to promote inclusivity and avoid double booking
It'd be great if the online reservation calendar noted major holidays like rosh hashanah, yom kippur, Eid Al-Fitr, easter etc so that volunteers are less likely to schedule activities on courses on those evenings. This would go a long way towards building an inclusive culture at The Mountaineers.

For events, be able to RSVP as a volunteer
For events, make it possible for people to sign up as a volunteer. Currently, people who RSVP to an event are labeled participants by default. But on the roster, there are 3 roles people can have: event contact, volunteer, or participant. Whoever is managing the roster can re-label people as volunteers, but it would be nice if people could initially RSVP themselves as a volunteer. This would also serve as a recruitment tool for events that need extra volunteers. But maybe this could be a feature that you could turn on or off by adding separate lines in the event…
1 voteWe have the ability to set events up to default registrants to be listed as volunteers. This works really well for committee meetings and instructor trainings. When you are creating the event simply go to the RSVP tab and hit the default role for RSVP to be volunteer, it will default to participant. If you use the participant default you can set up a “Want to Volunteer” button on your event that can be set up to email you. There was concern that volunteering for an event requires some back and forth about roles and responsibilities so emailing the leader was helpful.

Add More White Space Between Events on Calendar View GH1992
Add a bit more white space between events on the calendar view so that they do not appear mushed together as they do in some cases.
Here's an example for August 2016 on https://www.mountaineers.org/about/locations-reservations/seattle-program-center/events

Better sort for event calendar contents view GH1837/1955
When working on Events in Contents view, the oldest events (two years ago, as of now) sort to the top of the list. That means repeatedly paging to the end of the list to get to the Events of interest. Since, every time the page is refreshed, it starts over at the top of the list, the paging effort must be repeated over-and-over and is very time consuming.
Please change the list to sort in descending date order. Or better yet: present and future dates in ascending order followed by past dates in descending order.
Also, the event date is…
0 votesThe column headers in the “folder contents” view are now spaced correctly and you can sort (as you always have) by clicking on a column header for the forward sort. Click a second time for the reverse sort.

Make Events easier to find
Events should be listed next to LEARN EXPLORE AND CONSERVE on the main homepage.
1 voteEvents can be found in the header on every single page of the website. The upcoming events are featured in a calendar box in the middle left of the homepage as well. We are working on improved functionality for events, including the ability to RSVP and see the events your are registered for, however we do not plan to add an additional menu item to the main navigation for events.

Link Activities to Event/Room Reservation listings
One of those items that I would be interested in seeing added to the
capabilities of the new website system, is for when room reservations are
made that an option exists to simultaneously tie that reservation into an
actual activity. I know that not all room reservations are
Mountaineers-related, but I suspect that those that are related would
generally be associated with an activity (I know that all of mine are so
far). This would possibly help alleviate date problems (I just noticed I
was broadcasting a lecture date as being different from the room
reservation - which was the…3 votes -

Make Events work on tagging system for all branches GH2284
Right now you can't tag an event to multiple calendars and we want to be able to show some events in multiple branches calendars without having to copy and paste. Please make events work this way rather than the folder system to allow greater flexibility and maintain only rsvp roster.
