Development

Below are the most prominent or active projects being developed at the moment. If you have some input, I’m happy to hear it.

Tier 1 Projects:

Advisory Squad / Westie Dev Team

Avoiding burn-out, delegating.

Advisory vs. volunteers vs. both

Putting people in skill areas they excel at.

Giving others an opportunity to be a part of something bigger.

new perspectives

Accountability

3rd party perspective — help with interpersonal issues, challenging situations, etc., and to not feel as much as the burden falls on my shoulders, etc. (although it still does at the end of the day)

What way to provide value back to Volunteers?

51/49 split – Austin still retains decision making ability/has final say, BUT I personally want people to recognize that their input is still valuable and appreciated even if I go against is suggested by an individual or the collective. I’m generally pretty open-minded. I also want people to feel like they have the agency to take action on, enact certain things, create projects/initiatives, reach out, answer things, provide help etc.

By nomination and/or invite only. NOT OPEN REQUESTS.

Mini Town Hall?

repeating series for newcomers

opportunities for beginner/int+ to reinforce their understanding + help peers

Branding: Logo, Motto, Shirts

Finalizing 2019 version of logo (which atm is likely to stay the same as the current – just decide on a color for certain).

Motto – need to revisit prior suggestion/request thread and make a decision.

See if I can incorporate this into a new logo and/or new graphic in general, and then:

Figure out how to incorporate it onto a shirt, order, and distribute.
