Description
Area Facilitators (AFs) act as Lead wranglers - they are responsible for facilitating interaction between leads in different areas, and also in understanding how each lead is going to be executing their tasks. Each AF oversees one area that contains several lead positions. AFs are chosen by the LLC and typically have previous experience as a Flipside lead.
The Area Facilitator positions include:
Responsibilities and Deliverables
Area Facilitators are expected to take over the role sometime in the Summer after Flipside and maintain that role for at least one year.
They serve as executors of the policy and direction given to them by the Combustion Chamber and the LLC.
AF's are strongly encouraged to maintain steady lines of communication with the other AF's to have a better understanding of how the entire event runs, and how the overall planning process is progressing. Some ways to do this are:
- submitting weekly status reports to the AreaLeads mailing list
- attending AF meetings and socials
- attending the weekly CC meeting
AF's are expected to check in with the Leads assigned to their Area to make sure everything is running smoothly. AF's should allow the natural leadership styles of the Leads in their Area dictate how they operate their individual role (i.e. no micromanaging). However, in some extreme circumstances, AF's may be asked by the CC or LLC to assist one of their Leads more directly with their responsibilities and help them achieve their goals more efficiently. Also, if they witness a Lead operating in a way that puts their tasks at risk or is detrimental to other volunteers, they should bring that to the attention of the Volunteer Coordinator and LLC.
