Ensuring the active participation and retention of volunteers is not just a logistical concern for the Dallas Sports Commission; it's a fundamental aspect of their operational strategy.

With upcoming prestigious events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2030 men’s Final Four, and the 2031 women’s Final Four, the Dallas Sports Commission is constantly expanding its volunteer base.

Rosterfy user even before coming on board full-time.” -Stacey Segal, Director of Operations, Dallas Sports Commission
One of the unique perspectives that Stacey Segal brings to the table is her firsthand experience with Rosterfy both as an administrator and as a volunteer. Stacey's journey with the Dallas Sports Commission began as a volunteer, providing her with valuable insights into the volunteer experience.
“Using Rosterfy as a volunteer is simple. All I had to do was create an account and
sign up for event shifts. It’s a very accessible platform for an average user.” -Stacey Segal, Director of Operations, Dallas Sports Commission
Stacey's unique perspective enables her to anticipate the needs of volunteers and tailor the volunteer management process to enhance their experience. She understands the importance of clear communication, streamlined processes, and user-friendly interfaces from both the volunteer's and administrator's perspectives.
