How Are We Are Organized? How Do We  Make Decisions?

We operate under this idea of shared leadership organized into a number of layers and teams. The entire leadership of the community is volunteer. People in recovery make a commitment to give back. We are organized in these ways:

List liaisons are persons on step 7 who assume responsibility for each of the more than 100 lists we run. The liaisons keep the lists focused and on track, they work with list members, they model support and effective ways of doing the program. They handle logistics such as yahoo glitches, SPAM and getting people  into and off the lists. They run interference if a list member is off the wall or  needing extra help. The liaisons meet once a week for 30 minutes to check in on how things are gong, and talk regularly via a special list.

Geo Coaches serve as list liaisons for the geographical area lists set up for socialized interaction. Geo coaches meet with their teamleader as needed.

List team members are community members who have agreed to support the list liaison. Lists with more than 100 members have team members proportionate to the size of the list. Team members speak regularly with the team leader about the needs of the list.

All the lists have a Rules of the Road document which governs how the list will function. These rules are sent out to the list once a month. When the leadership members need help in interpretation of the rules of the road, they discuss that  with one another on the liaison leadership list.

The leadership tone of the community is outlined in this directive given to leaders when they sign on. The core of the leadership style is empowerment.
