Team, We should be able to run the group and its initiatives including decision making, volunteer coordination, taking up cases even when senior person like prasanthi is busy.
Work division and back up is very important aspect. Our field volunteer should be guided to do work by senior folks irrepsctive . Some one(not one but more people indeed) should start taking roles of prasanthi like coordinating the filed volunteers, decision making, funds release, connecting the field volunteers to right contact and so on... Right now, every volunteer calls prasanthi for any thing as for sure they know they get the answer. We have to break that first. ;). The field volunteers should depend on pool of leadership team who knows what is happeening with every case or who is the concerned volunteer from whom they can get the information. Right now, to my knowledge, that one person who has all answers is prasanthi. Let us have few more people who can take that transition. I see shivaji and bhargav as some committed volunteers. Why not make one of them part of this... I know I am over ambitious by naming the individuals right away. But I see these folks may be available for another 2 years till they marry (correct me shivaji and bhargav ;)) and they should be doing that transition to others next year who come in. So, goes without dependencies. Ofcouse, they need all the senior folks help for this. Prasanthi should be our contact person for getting help from outside folks. She needs to just connect respective field volunteers to the people outside TMAD who can help. I would like to see prasanthi to offload tracking work to someone else if she is doing. May be something that needs to be discussed in the meeting.
