Start A Local Chapter

From the section: Ways to Help
February, 2001 |

WHAT IS AN AREA COORDINATOR?
An Area Coordinator is a representative of Binky Patrol in a given area, neighborhood or region. Area Coordinators are the glue for a Binky Patrol chapter. Responsibilities include:

  • Being the spokesperson for the local chapter to their community and local media.
  • Hosting regular meetings once or twice a month.
  • Sharing the information between the local chapter and national headquarters.

An Area Coordinator helps to eliminate duplication of efforts and keeps everything consistent. They send out press releases to media and other correspondences, determine where their chapter's binkies will be delivered and correspond with Corporate Headquarters with updated information about their chapters and the members involved.

They facilitate brainstorming sessions on new ways to recruit new members and raise awareness in their communities. The Area Coordinator sends photos from their groups activities to Headquarters to be shared in newsletters and other promotions. Also, they keep track of expenses, contributions, and submit chapter reports on a quarterly basis.

A chapter will consist of many different people, personalities, talents and skill levels. It is important to delegate and let people volunteer where their strengths and interests lie. An Area Coordinator needs a sense of humor and fair play. Also, you will find greater success if you organize your chapter by delegating responsibilities such as mailings, research for deliveries, and donations to your stronger volunteers.
