What kind of Skill set is required to be a member of your team/division?
Many members believe you have to be a good news writer to be in newsletter. The truth is, many of our fine divisions submit information and we are simply the editor and vehicle for publication. With that said, there is a basic knowledge of grammar, spelling etc that are required. In addition, lay out and html are helpful. Most of our staff spend time bouncing around divisions getting news and/or writing pieces for the monthly editions.
Roughly, how much time does working in this team/division take?
It really depends on what time of the month it is. Between the submission deadline of the 5th and the publication date of the 10th it can be very busy. After the 10th there are a few meetings setting the theme for the next edition and assigning tasks. Between that time and the 5th, its just getting what we need and visiting with our community.
What are your meeting/attendance requirements?
There are weekly OS meetings on Saturday's and we require a steady presence in TeamSpeak. TeamSpeak is where we get our work done and make sure we're all firing on all cylinders. If a member is struggling, we provide support and leadership during those times.
