Kenzie Stokes · Answer 1

Each volunteer and staff member need to arrive at the scheduled time.

Explanation:

The adjective each is used before a singular countable noun and, therefore, the verb should be in singular form, too.

So the sentence should be written as "Each volunteer and staff member needs to arrive at the scheduled time."
