Area Coordinators
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
