Leadership Specifics

[O.S.O.K.]

I just was thinking that we should be identifying and quantifying the needed leadership positions:

In every state a team:

Chairman: (General Manager - organizes and keeps the team on-task, mediates between directors, fills-in where needed, ensures completion of tasks)
Communicatins Director: (handles press releases, web site managment, flyers, etc.)
Public Relations Director: (conducts media interviews, arranges for speakers for the rallys, etc.)
Logistics Director: (works with local police departments to obtain permits, ensure proper planning for successful, peaceful event, arranges for needed on-site equipment)
Legal Director: (in charge of establishing NPO, working with Logistics on permits, communications on verbiage for web site, PR for proper legal presentation of organizaton, etc.)
Finance Director: (fund raising, maintaining accounting of all receipts, disbursements, tax reporting of said)


This is heavy stuff guys. But this is what it will take to make this happen in a big way.

State teams many not need the finance and legal positions- which can most likely be handled centrally and probably should be.

Each of these people will need a group of people that will help them with each specific task and in addition, we will need thousands of volunteers to distribute flyers and such.

Something to consider.

Wow that seems like a lot. Do you think we should start out small first with one person in charge per state and see how each state chapter grows and advance each one as needed? It would take months to organize a team like that for each state, where it could take a few weeks to get one die hard person from each state to start things out, spread the word and work on finding people that are willing to commit time and or resources to 21st CP.

I really don't see a need for a large team like that until you get a good sized group of committed people for each state.

This being a volunteer effort, it could easily overwhelm a single person especially if that person is holding down a full time job at the same time. And seeing as how this needs to be done in as professional a manner as humanly possible, spreading the tasks out will only help. I would agree with O.S.O.K.'s post. Now in states that start with low participation, one person could take multiple tasks hopefully picking up additional help as the ball starts rolling.

[O.S.O.K.]

One person could certainly start things up in their state. The first thing they would need to do is get some help! :D

Yes, there is a huge amount of work to done to pull something like this off successfully.

Breaking it down into smaller, manageble pieces is the pathway to success.

That is how the light bulb was invented and developed into a comercial product.

This means lots of folks chipping-in to do what they can.
