Operations
We are putting together a core group (line personnel and executive committee) with seamless on line digital linkage (e.g. Net meetings, digital information storage and sharing) in order to coordinate the tasks at hand. The effective use of the Project Web Site and internet communications is critical to the operating style of the Project. Its Boards, volunteer members and projects will be separated by thousands of miles. It is designed to be an internet, computer based operating organization using face to face meetings sparingly over its first few years of operation. Additionally, if the Project mirrors a “blue collar” work ethic and lean service costs from the onset, it will attract the best Foundations and Grant bodies. Clear budgets, CPA oversight, evaluation and accountability need to be well done from the onset.
Paid Staff
Initially the Project will begin with a project coordinator(half time), an office administrator(half time), a grant writer with a proven track record, ( half time ), an IT Web Master and communication specialist (0ne fifth time), a Marketing Coordinator (one fifth time ), a Volunteer Coordinator (one fifth time ) and a research librarian ( one fifth time).
