Steering Committee Nominations - Nov 2019

Nominations are open for the Research Bazaar Arizona Steering Committee

This is the first iteration of a new process to involve more of our community members in the day-to-day decision making and organizing of ResBazAZ activities.

From the HackMD document below:

We assume that we are going to need an executive/steering committee
The first (zero-th) iteration of the above process will be to find dedicated volunteers for the executive committee
This group will help oversee and organize the next iteration of the process
They will also help refine and codify the process described here
We should formalize this group as soon as possible!

The role of steering committee member should have a defined and limited responsibility, with a known time commitment. It's a crucial role, but it should not take up a lot of a busy person's time.

Please feel free to nominate yourself or somebody else in the ResBazAZ community. Suitable candidates will be members who are active and in good standing.

This will be a short term (a few months at most) while we figure out the processes for the longer term.

Communication

Please comment with:

Any objections to this proposal
Which categories interest you the most (try to aim for at least 3?)
Whether you would be willing to be the person responsible for spearheading a particular category or project

Problem: No clear responsibilities for each organizer

Examples:

"I'm a member of the steering committee, and I want to make a change to the website, who is responsible for reviewing issues and pull requests?"
"I have opinions on social media or how to run the Meetup, who do I talk to?"
"I would like to sponsor a ResBaz Arizona event, but I don't know who to talk to."

What would a solution look like

Each particular activity or aspect of the organization has at least one person responsible for it
This is clear and easy to find out (like on the website under people's bios)
