Area Coordinators
Purpose
Provide an overview of the Area Coordinator role and how it supports Local Group engagement.
What Are Area Coordinators
Area Coordinators (ACs) help extend Local Group connection beyond the primary population center.
They serve as local points of contact, helping members feel connected within their geographic area.
Guiding Principle
Local connection increases engagement.
Area Coordinators help make a large or dispersed Local Group feel smaller and more personal.
What Area Coordinators Do
Area Coordinators typically:
- Welcome new members in their area
- Host or organize local activities
- Help connect nearby members
- Share local insights with group leadership

- Travel distance limits event participation
- There are clusters of members outside the main area
What Success Looks Like
- Members feel connected locally
- New members are welcomed in their area
- Local events occur outside the main population center
- Communication flows between local areas and leadership
