Hello. Me again. Volunteers needed! Yes, you are responding! It is now the time to respond with your specific expertise. Here is a small part of a large proposal created by Mr. Bobby Gilliam. As O.U.C.H grows, there will be more proposals added. Right now we need to build a strong “work force”. Please E-mail Barbara D. at bcenter123@aol.com to volunteer. Step one is to organize small clusters of people. (Sorry, couldn’t resist). These “clusters” can “meet” as listed below.
Initial Proposals
1. Create a temporary transition team. (Bobby Gilliam, Barbara D., drummer).
They will serve during the formative and pre-launch stage of O.U.C.H until such time as the By-laws can take effect.
2. Create Geographical areas and have representatives in those areas. ie.: Bobby/OK, Barbara/TX, drummer/NY, lc bob/San Francisco, Nancy/Kansas, etc……Need many more states and countries!!!
Responsibilities include E-mailing people from their local geographical area.
Holding a structured Chat session for each area. ICQ?
Meet in a group? Can you imagine! Actually seeing a live cluster sufferer like you!
3. Make a dynamic action plan. (By that I mean hands on for all of the people in the group)
Talking, chatting, E-mailing, meeting.
Sharing ideas for promoting O.U.C.H
(A dynamic action plan is one that is always evolving growing and expanding for the groups’ benefits.
We need to create strong teams, because the organization will only be as strong as each of the teams. We must begin with the end in mind. Be sure to add anything that you think should be a part of the plan. Don't hold yourself back. While it may be impractical at the start, we have to have an eye on it for later.
