 Regional Coordinators

As the Student Trade Justice Campaign campus chapter and affiliate base grows it is important that they have personal contact with a member of the National Team on a regular basis so that they are better able to be consistently engaged and active with the national membership. Regional Coordinators will facilitate this process and will also be helpful in facilitating the reverse function; that is keeping the National Team engaged with campuses. Regional Coordinators will first be an at large position and will gradually grow into region specific positions as the campus base grows. The position will be a minimum one year commitment and will fall under the Outreach part of the National Team and thus these coordinators will work closely with the Director of Outreach. They will of course be working directly and interacting regularly with the other members of the National Team.

1. Weekly contact via email and telephone with chapters and affiliates
2. Monthly general updates on regional chapter/affiliate activity to general STJC National Team and membership

5. Monthly input into the STJC Newsletter (mostly just action updates)
6. Represent STJC in your region at relevant events to participate or present materials if needed.

HELPFUL PERSONAL QUALITIES:

2. Able to fit in odd hour conference calls and rapid email responses to be accessible for campus contacts and the National Team.
