Jsx is the best of peeps. He takes care of his own and looks out for his “pals”. He’s a guy would would give you his “ I love bacon” shorts he’s wearing in the profile picture he wears so well….In my experience working with groups like these, whether it be volunteers, clubs or non-profit charities, one avenue to take is to form smaller, more compartmentalized groups, about 8-10 members. Those groups sometimes see more interaction as the smaller group is easier to manage and folks don’t feel so inundated or get lost in the mix.
In an application like this, for example, you could break down Marion County to regional groups where members may be closer together and more likely to remain involved:
Townships:
Perry
Franklin
Warren
Lawrence
Washington
Pike
Wayne
Decatur
Towns:
Speedway
Southport
Lawrence
Beech Grove
In theory, let’s say that each of these groups had ten members, then that makes 130 people just in Marion County, with a “leadership” contingent of one member from each group, making a group of 13 to do direct coordination for planning. More than ten people in a township? Create a second group.
It’s an alternative to a large group, one that we’ve used in managing volunteers for emergency management. I think it’s also fairly similar to AmCon, and I know that it’s the foundation of the Freedom Cell Network.
