BOI EDITOR
Position/Job Title: BOI Editor The Book of Information (BOI) can be thought of as our directory which, in conjunction with our website, makes up our yearbook, our living history.
By putting this living document on-line, it can be updated easier/more frequently, thus providing our members with the most current information.
This Chairmanship requires input from many sources: • FFGC President (identifies individual chairmen) • Members of the Board of Directors • District Directors (provide information about their district, i.e. names of clubs and circles, their presidents and their contact information, meeting day and location). • FFGC Office Manager (membership totals) ... due to printing deadlines, this information will be updated online in late September after all dues have been processed.
Typically, in February, the incoming President will schedule a meeting with the new district directors to go over his/her vision for the next two years.
Following Convention each year, you obtain a list of the twelve (12) newly installed district directors with their contact information (name, phone, address and email) ... ask the newly installed president for the list.
Keeping in mind these are volunteers who have just been installed as leaders of their district (somewhere between 260 and 1715 members, depending on the size of the district). Some were assistant directors before moving into the director position, but some were not. Either way, their understanding of what you'll be asking of them may be totally foreign.
