A
number of Sistas have contacted us regarding becoming
an Area Coordinator, and wanted to know what's involved.
As a DigitalSistas.net Area Coordinator you will coordinate and develop on-line and off-line activities
for our Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in a geographic
area where you live, and / or work. These activities will address
specific technology issues facing African American women today
and in the future.
So, what are SIGs? SIGs are Special Interest Groups that are focused exclusively
on one facet of the business listed in the channels section of our website. What is your area of interest?
The SIG will be the place on our site where those
with similar interests gather to discuss issues and challenges
they face in their sector of the business. It will be a place
to discuss the pros and cons of a new product or process, report
on news in the industry, and career opportunities or problems
in that sector.
As a DigitalSistas.net SIG Area Coordinator, you will
be responsible for working with co-coordinators in your specific
geographic area to:
- Develop,
acquire, and submit content for your specific SIG Channel;
- Examine
trends and issues for your specific SIG;
- Monitor
responses posted from discussion groups on your SIG Channel;
- Identify
and recommend women for DigitalSistas.net "Spotlight"
feature;
- Support
establishing local and regional DigitalSistas.net Chapters;
- Coordinate
national / international outreach activities for
your SIG.
Content
on the website will be changed twice a month. To facilitate
the process, all SIGs will have co-coordinators, with each being
responsible for coordinating content for their sector once a
month.
As a DigitalSistas.net Area Coordinator you will be responsible
for coordinating activities in your specific geographic area,
and linking to and coordinating with SIG Coordinators as appropriate.
Here too, because some areas are larger than others, co-coordinators
are recommended to assure managability. Specific responsibilities
will include:
- Generating
interest among friends and professional associates
- coordinate
development for membership in DigitalSistas.net
- Planning
and hosting events as part of DigitalSistas-Unplugged
- Networking
with key technology groups in your area
- Serve
as primary liaison with SIG Coordinators and the DigitalSistas.net
Executive Team
- Advise
the Executive Team of potential opportunities in your area
which will:
- Increase
recognition of the DigitalSistas.net online community
- Identify
content providers
- Enhance
the website
- Provide
additional financial resource
As a DigitalSistas.net SIG or Area Coordinator, you will
receive global exposure, free marketing, and free membership
to DigitalSistas.net. We know of no better way
to increase your professional exposure and marketability than
by becoming a DigitalSista!
We are looking
for women who have strong organizing skills, a keen interest
in technology, enjoy networking with other women, are innovative,
able to travel, ready to be part of a new start-up, and want
to be on a challenging and winning team.
If you think
being an Area Coordinator is for you and you are interested
in helping to make DigitalSistas.net the place to be, email us your resume and include a brief paragraph about your skills.
