Purpose

Explain the Area Coordinator role and how it helps members connect locally within a larger geographic area.

Getting Started

Area Coordinators help make a large or dispersed Local Group feel smaller and more personal.

  • 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

New Area Coordinators should:

  • Introduce themselves to Local Group leadership
  • Become familiar with members in their area
  • Learn about existing local activities
  • Reach out to new members when appropriate
