Recruiting for the TUGs Leadership Board

by | Aug 30, 2018 | News

As the sole organizer for TUGs, I’ve found that there are some areas that could be better if I had some help. For example, someone asked us to arrange another concert this month, and I had to decline because we already have two, I’m traveling on business, running two software companies and trying to go to the gym ….and so forth and so on. But if we had a Events Coordinator, we could have said yes.

Another example, we could have some really nice YouTube videos of us playing, but I’m not good with filming and have no patience for uploading to YouTube, but someone else could do that for us.

Basically, I just need some help, and it’s about time that TUGs had a proper organizational structure.

So please email me if you are interested in any of the following roles. But first:

  1. I don’t think these roles would take any one person more than 1 hour per week
  2. None of these roles requires that you have to lead the group, they are just behind the scenes (though I’d love more jam leaders!)
  3. I’m open to changing these roles, adding other ones, updating descriptions etc. feedback is always welcome
