Organizers
Organizers form, lead, and work with teams to plan and produce Braver Angels workshops and other events.
In-person and online events both require organizers. The duties are similar, with some differences, which are described below.
Prerequisites
- Membership: You must be a Braver Angels member. Please sign up to become a member.Â
- Well-organized, detail-oriented, good people skills: There are many details to keep track of and lots of people (and sometimes organizations) involved. The organizer needs to keep everything and everyone moving forward in the same direction, ensure that all necessary tasks are completed on time, keep all team members informed and engaged, and be flexible and maintain sense of humor when things inevitably don’t work out exactly as planned.
- Basic computer skills and internet (for online events): Tasks include scheduling and facilitating planning meetings via Zoom, monitoring a registration page on Eventbrite, securing a Zoom Meeting room for the event, opening the Zoom Meeting room, and doing simple troubleshooting and problem-solving.
** Note: an organizer is not responsible for facilitating the event itself; trained Braver Angels moderators facilitate the events.
