Administrative work.

Based on my very limited understanding of what LOPSA needs: It's a pretty broad 
swath though; "office" type stuff like phones and email, post things to the web 
site (like LOSPAgram, meeting minutes, posts/messages from board members), and 
administrative stuff like member payments/tracking/whatnot.

There are two very different categories of work that needs to be done.

There's administrative work (processing payments, answering phones, etc)

And there's project work (admin of the website, implementing new tools, etc)

The first requires a secretary type person, the second a sysadmin. It's 
unlikely that one person is going to be good at both types of work.

A secretary type person is far cheaper than a sysadmin (although, they may 
require office space to work in), neither is really the right type for manning 
a booth at a show.

What are the projects that we are wanting to get done, and can a very junior 
person (all that we can afford, if we can afford that), really do this work?

Or are you looking for a professional cat-herder to manage volunteer work on 
the projects?
