Being the Co-ordinator

Sharing the load
8 September 2009

Did you know that an increasing number of local groups now have joint Co-ordinators?

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

For example Camden Friends of the Earth have three joint Co-ordinators, dividing the role as follows:

  • Iris is the external contact for enquiries from the public
  • Nikki is the internal contact for Head Office, receives all the mailings and keeps the group informed about campaigns and resources.
  • Jess organises the monthly meetings and welcomes and supports new members to the group

If you'd like to find out more about how this could work for your group, please speak to your Network Developer.

In response to calls for better recognition and support of joint Co-ordinators, it's now possible for all joint Co-ordinators to receive email, telephone and postal communications from us.

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