Being the Co-ordinator

Sharing the load
8 March 2013

Did you know that an increasing number of local groups now have joint Coordinators?

Sharing the role between 2 or 3 people means you can divide up the tasks, and maximise individual interests and skills.

Camden Friends of the Earth has three joint Coordinators, dividing the role as follows:

  • Iris is the contact for enquiries from the public.
  • Nikki is the contact for Head Office. She receives mailings and keeps the group informed about campaigns and resources.
  • Jess organises the monthly meetings and supports new members of the group.

Want to find out more about how this could work for your group? Please speak to the Activism Development Team if you're in England - and your Network Developer in Wales or Northern Ireland.

We've listened to your calls for better recognition and support of joint Coordinators. It's now possible for all joint Coordinators to receive email, telephone and postal communications from us.

If you're a joint Coordinator and aren't yet receiving Coordinator mailings please email us.
