WCA Global Hospitality Ministry - Host Home Guidelines
|
|
|
Purpose:
Host home stays are intended to enhance and enrich a guest’s conference
experience, by connecting a guest in need of accommodation with a Willow member
family, and to help defray the cost of international (and domestic) travel. |
Accommodations:
-
A private bedroom, one not used by host family during guest stay. One guest per
room is ideal; a bedroom may be shared by more than one guest, when needed
-
A separate bed for each guest (only married guests to share beds) x No sofa
beds, futons or air mattresses please
-
No beds in common areas which are used by family. i.e. Family room, recreation
room
-
Access to bathroom (may be shared with family)
-
Clean linens
-
Home should be reasonably clean and tidy
|
Meals: -
A light breakfast is the only meal a host is expected to offer.
-
Guests are responsible for all other meals
-
Hosts may offer additional meals / food at their discretion
|
Transportation: -
Guests are responsible for all their own transportation
|
Safety / Discretion: -
All guests are required to be registered for the conference
-
Guests are provided Guest Guidelines
-
Hosts should use their discretion regarding guest’s access to home, or leaving guests unaccompanied
-
Hosts are not expected to provide access to phone or computer / internet. Free wireless internet access is available in the atrium at WCCC, for use with guest’s own computer
|
Private Placements (PP): -
A PP is where a returning guest requests to stay with a specific host home. Global Hospitality values these types of relationships; however it is important the guest submit a Global Hospitality request. Please communicate all private placements so we may serve the guest and host home well.
|
Placement Process: -
Each host home communicates with a Placement Coordinator (PC)
-
Your PC is your primary point of contact for all Global Hospitality issues.
-
Host Homes are contacted approximately eight weeks prior to a conference to determine availability
-
Guest / Host Home placements are confirmed 2 weeks prior to the conference. The host home and guest are provided contact information and strongly encouraged to communicate prior to guest’s arrival to determine arrival and departure times.
-
Typically, Host Homes are available for guest accommodation the Saturday before a conference until the Sunday after a conference. (8 nights). Hosts should be available for all 8 nights.
-
This provides guests (especially Internationals) time to recover from travel, do some sightseeing, socialize with family, and experience a Willow weekend service. Many guests do not stay the entire 8 nights.
-
The WCA charges all guests a nominal administrative fee, primarily to show their commitment to the process.
-
Hosts do not receive financial remuneration for serving
|
Emergencies: -
Hosts should contact their Placement Coordinator (PC) with any unexpected situations
-
If the PC is not available, contact the Global Hospitality Lead (Mary Beth Temesvary: 630-740-2435)
-
The WCA has a liaison medical physician in case of medical emergencies
-
International Guests are requested to obtain travel insurance for any unforeseen emergencies
