Years ago I created a game-changing role that proved to keep us even more organized: the Calendar Keeper. Why this role, you might wonder? Well, in our quest to maximize visibility and engagement for our candidates, ensuring their presence at a myriad of public events while also making sure our campaign events weren’t in conflict was crucial.
This role is a gem for a supporter who's keen to contribute but strapped for time. And yes, a little love for Facebook goes a long way here. The Calendar Keeper's mission was multifaceted yet straightforward:
- They maintained a Google Calendar, our team's North Star for all things schedule.
- Their digital foray included subscribing to every town and club newsletter, becoming the biggest fan of local Facebook pages and Instagram accounts, and joining every community group imaginable.
- Armed with this treasure trove of information, they filtered through to pinpoint events, dutifully adding them to our shared calendar.
- But their role didn’t stop there; they also included our campaign events, peppered with crucial election milestones, like early voting dates and ballot request deadlines.
- The beauty of this role lies in its simplicity yet profound impact on our organizational prowess. It's a testament to the fact that in the bustling ecosystem of a campaign, every role, no matter how small it may seem, contributes to the larger goal of engaging with the community and paving the path to election day.
