C. COALITION BUILDING AND OUTREACH RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Provide AZTEA communication and representation with appropriate professional organizations and policymakers on the local, state and national level.

is there wisdom to having a full time administrative assistant and a part time executive director? It is important for there to be a physical contact point during business hours, membership requests need to be turned around sooner. Do you want the executive director having to do clerical work?

Put the executive director on partial commission initially. A small base salary and they build the position into full time by pulling in enough revenue - this would mean that the first executive director would most likely need to be retired.
