Consider joining an existing committee or help us create one in your city. If interested, contact Jeff Payne, Community Outreach Director, at community@gayconference.org. 

Community Steering Committees (goal: every major metropolitan city)

Purpose

Similar to the purpose of the conference of creating “community,” the purpose of the Steering Committees in each major metropolitan city is to replicate our full functional efforts across the nation, and if possible, around the world.

Our credibility comes from the members of the Advisory Board, the Board of Directors, and our many various Steering Committees.

Description

The various Community Steering Committees are composed of connected and active members of our collective community identified to extend the network. Ideally, at least two representatives, one for the men and one for the women in the local community, and more if there are others that would like to help. Ideal persons for these positions are those that are well connected in the local athletic community. Time commitments vary and will likely not amount to more than 1 hour a week or every two weeks.

Requirements

• Direct oversight responsibility over all activities that concern your major metropolitan area. Central management responsibility is the responsibility of that member of the Board of Directors.
• Lend the conference the use of your name and expertise
• Put aside your own individual needs in exchange for creating a collectively greater good
• Assist to build out compelling content, finding sponsors, and other idea generation
• Work with Community Outreach to further build out your team mates
• Get the local papers to print the press releases and make note in the community calendars
• Print out the flyer and brochures, and hand out and/or post them where appropriate
• Help us extend the network – become the arms and legs of the conference in your area
• Help us spread the word by printing the 3-Fold volunteer brochure and business cards – hand them out for pickup at your local gyms, clubs, bars, sporting events, etc.:
