Hiring: Welcoming Committee

The Welcoming Committee will consist of 5 members, including optional subsets as follows: 2 Greeters, 1 Scribe, and 2 City Architects. The Greeters will be traditional WC members and greet as they have always been. They will patrol the Introductions Forum and work with visitors, helping them get avatars, get enough posts, and become citizens. Their main thread here is the Greeting Journal, where they will keep everyone (including me) up to date on who they've greeted.

The Scribe will maintain a Google Drive spreadsheet of the active visitors and track their credentials toward becoming a citizen as they move through the process. This will involve verifying avatars, recording dates, and getting information from the Greeters and making sure it is organized. They will also help the Mayor organize documents or record information in other areas as they develop. This is great for a person who loves spreadsheets but perhaps is a little shy and doesn't really want to send multiple PMs a day.

Finally, the City Architects! In short, this duo will work everywhere. If this is you, I expect you to at least glance in every thread and help out wherever you see progress can occur or help is needed. Above all, you must be tactful--both to the other administrators here, to new members, and to me. I want you to be creative and challenge things you see in order to determine if you can do it better, get it done now, help do it faster, or fix broken things. However, as you are working in threads where you are not the primary leader, the phrasing of your suggestions is extremely important. Be sensitive, intelligent, and badass!
