Overview:
This is an Administrative position within the Department of Administration. The Membership Activities Coordinator (MAC) will work closely with the Director of Administration, Keeper, and Amyrlin to create and maintain a comprehensive calendar of organization activities that will benefit the entire community.

The MAC position is being revamped from its previous incarnation. This post has been vacant since 2013.

Duties & Responsibilities:
- Work closely with the Director of Administration, Keeper, and Amyrlin to create and maintain the community calendar,
- Work with all Directors to learn about departmental needs, activities, etc. that need to be maintained on a calendar (examples: hirings, festivals, surveys),
- Once calendar is populated, work with all Directors to ensure that community activities happen on time, and
- Additional duties as needed, keeping in mind that this is a newish role that will need definition! Expect that we'll get creative here.

Requirements:
- Must be a Senior Member in good standing or a Junior Member with extended community service,
- Must be willing to spend ~10 hours a week on departmental duties (this may be higher or lower, depending on what is happening at any given time):
***** The setup involved in this position will require more time in the research and development phase and then the time commitment should shift significantly lower as the project enters maintenance mode.
- Be knowledgeable, or willing to learn, about various calendar software to assist the administration in deciding what setup will be best for the organization,
- Must be tactful, discreet, and able to get along with a wide variety of people, and
- Must be creative! No, really. Bring your ideas and brain with you to this position!

If you are interested in applying for this position, please e-mail administration@tarvalon.net, keeper@tarvalon.net, and amyrlin@tarvalon.net with the subject line "APPLICATION - MAC - YOUR NAME HERE". Applications are due by midnight on the 30th of January.

In your application, tell us how you fit these requirements and tell us your ideas for pulling our community's activities into one tidy place so that we can make sure that we're doing everything at the right times. Have other thoughts to share? Send 'em on over! Creativity is a bonus (have I said that often enough?). This position is open to interpretation and I'm very willing to work with the right applicant to put an awesome system in place.

Have questions? Shoot me an e-mail. I'm happy to talk!

As a FYI, I will be on LoA without Internet access from 11-21 January. I will answer questions as soon as I can upon return if you ask them after I leave. :D

Thanks to those of you who have asked questions so far! Please keep them coming. :D Here are some questions and answers for those mulling this role over:

What sort of software are we using currently?
None. Helping to select software to use will be part of the incoming MAC's role.

What does a "JM with extended community service" mean?
This statement means that if a JM were to apply for the position, I would expect to see a JM who has been around for awhile and knows how the community ticks. Someone who has been a part of our community for a year or two and has made a point of getting actively involved.

Do I need to live in the US or in a certain time zone? Does English need to be my first language?
Nope! This position is open to members from anywhere and everywhere. English as a first language is definitely not required.

This would be a great position for people who like to know what's going on, and who like to see things run smoothly. You'll get to work with Officers and Directors to build up a calendar the Execs can use to stay on track and make sure hirings and events are times properly.

I'm personally really looking forward to having this position revived, and I hope anyone who's interested applies. :D

At this point in time, there isn't a rotation set- that may or may not change in the future, but we'll have to see how it all forms up. :D
