CC Nominations

SO folks we have 3 or 4 members of the CC stepping down. If you are interested or know someone who you think is a good candidate,let us know.
Greetings, citizens of Pyropolis,

The time has come. We are looking for new members of the Combustion Chamber.

What is the Combustion Chamber?

The Combustion Chamber (CC) is a community-nominated group of people
that provide feedback and direction from the general Burning Flipside
community to the Burning Flipside organization. To find out more about
the CC, visit http://www.burningflipside.com/CC

How does one become a member of the CC?

The CC is a self-selecting group that adds members on occasion to keep
its numbers around 12-16. This is done by asking the community
(that's you!) to nominate others or to apply for consideration to join
the CC. Once nominations and applications have been received, the
community will then have an opportunity to give feedback on those
nominees. Once community feedback has been gathered, the current CC
members (including the LLC) will meet to discuss the candidates and
the community feedback. From this discussion, some, none or all of
the candidates will be invited to interview with the LLC and existing
CC members. Once interviews have been completed, the CC decides on
which people, if any, from the group of nominees will be added to the
CC and announces the new members to the community.

So now let’s get down to business. We’re looking for new CC members!

The CC nomination form and CC application form are now live on the
Burning Flipside website and can be accessed by clicking these links:

Nominations and applications will only be accepted until midnight on
Sunday, July 25th so get your nominations and applications submitted
before Sunday, July 25th!

A little more on what the CC does…

CC Members discuss policies and the direction of Flipside at the
organizational level, and CC meetings are generally where major (and
minor) changes are discussed. The CC is not necessarily the group that
executes the decisions recommended by it, often it is the Leads,
volunteers, AFs, etc. who will actually implement what was decided.
In general, the CC does not manage the operational tasks of the event
– those tasks are generally handled by Leads, volunteers, AFs, or the
LLC.

What am I committing to if I join the CC?

As a member of the CC, you are expected to serve for at least one
year. We hope that CC members will serve as long as they are effective
conduits from the community to the organization. CC meetings are
currently held on Monday nights at 7:42 p.m. at the AAR LLC Warehouse
on Springdale Road in East Austin. You will be expected to be
available for these meetings, which usually occur biweekly. You will
also be expected to help with events such as the Spring and Fall Town
Hall meetings.

Tell me again: How do I nominate someone or apply to be a new member of the CC?
