[Businessmtg] Greeter Chair

[apryl]

In following suit with Cyndi's explanation of the List Administrator's 
role and time commitment, I thought I'd chime in with what being Greeter 
Chair looks like as well.

The role of Greeter Chair is defined as:

-⁠ *Greeter Chairperson  *
       -⁠ Chairs the Greeter Committee
          -⁠ Appoints Greeters
          -⁠ Instructs/⁠trains Greeters
          -⁠ Oversees greeting process
       - Alternate List Administrator #2 and member of the Steering 
Committee

In the nearly three years that I've performed this function I've never 
spent more than an half an hour on any given day performing these 
duties.  Every six months our greeters rotate out and it is the chair's 
responsiblity to post to the recovery meeting a call to volunteer.  The 
chair then forms the greeter team and oversees the training and 
instruction for the new greeters.  The chair also oversees the greeting 
process by daily checking of emails to ensure none are lost in the 
cracks.  On average, I respond to maybe one question a week and 
primarily am simply available for any complex situations or to help 
clarify policy if need be.  I typically check my email once a day 
although if there is a Business Meeting or ongoing Steering Committee 
discussion, I attempt to check 2-3 times a day.  On average, I might 
spend 10 minutes per day reviewing emails and possibly answering 
questions or participating in Steering Committee discussion.  While my 
position doesn't rotate out until the beginning of the year, it will be 
incredibly helpful for the incumbent to spend a couple of months 
piggy-backing and seeing what this process looks like.

Like Cyndi, being a part of the Steering Committee in my role as Greeter 
Chair has pushed me along in my own recovery.  I too, have learned how 
to respond rather than react, to communicate with grace rather than just 
gut instinct, and to utilize our steps, slogans, and traditions in 
almost all of my affairs.  I can honestly say that I'm not sure I would 
have come so far in my own recovery without having been a part of this 
committee which required my participation and never allowed me to take 
the easy way out :).

If I can answer any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Warm regards,
