The Share Sub Committee has a vacancy for a Liaison Officers’ Coordinator for Share, AA’s monthly magazine in England and Wales.
This is a new role created to undertake some of the tasks currently carried out by the Editor.
The Liaison Officers’ Coordinator will support the Share Sub Committee through maintaining regular contact with the Regional and Intergroup Share Liaison Officers, regularly reviewing Share web pages and overseeing the Share FileStore. In addition, you will maintain and update the contact information regarding Intergroup and Regional SLOs by liaising with GSO Admin staff.
Feedback from AA members, which is sent directly from the website or emailed via GSO, needs to be collated and made available to the team. The role will also involve reading and scoring all articles, circulated weekly to the team, to provide a guide for suitability to publish.
The monthly production of Share magazine is a team effort; it is essential for the Liaison Officers’ Coordinator to be an experienced team player with good experience of service within AA including service at Intergroup and preferably service at Region. Computer and email competence is indispensable.
