Positions

I completely agree with this structure to get the ball rolling on changes.

Since Jeremy's setting me up with Drupal Association for reimbursements (so I can pay for the DCU library room rental), I'll volunteer for the Treasurer position.

I'd also like to nominate:

  • Chuck for "DCU Coordinator" position
  • Dallas for "DUG meetings Coordinator" position.

These are 1 year positions, correct? This will be especially good if we keep DCU in the winter. I think the new DCU coordinator should take over AFTER the year's DCU, so that each DCU coordinator can have the entire year to coordinate that event and can pass the torch after the DCU event.

I also think that these are the only official positions needed at this point. However, I'd like to see individuals with energy and enthusiasm step up to assist those coordinators, demonstrate leadership with the idea of assuming the Coordinator position the following cycle. In this manner, we can achieve continuity in the Coordinator positions and maintain institutional memory (ex: how we've done DCU in the past - successes/failures).

These suggestions come from my experience sitting on a founding non-profit board of directors and helping run an annual event for 5 consecutive years that required coordinating dozens of volunteers.
