Rangers: Difference between revisions

(One intermediate revision by the same user not shown)

Line 5:

They monitor the convention to limit and reduce potential problems, and provide information attendees may need, with dual goals of safety and enjoyment of all, in that order of preference.

* The most important skills for the job are a level head and the ability to keep calm in sometimes stressful situations. Also important are de-escalation skills and, as with any public facing position, patience.

* The Rangers department ~~does not have a specific staff email account associated with it - concerns should go through Operations, their parent department~~.

* The Rangers department can be contacted by emailing [email protected] or [email protected].

== Yearly Responsibilities ==

Line 82:

* What worked well/Would suggest doing again?

Work closely with the other departments under Operations - Volunteers, Operations, Logistics - we all work together to put on the con and all these jobs need done.

* What didn't work/would suggest to avoid?

At-con volunteers are a poor choice to Ranger - they will either disappear with a radio and never check in, or just generically not be helpful? They are ideal candidates for badge check or on-call go-fer work, but if someone shows up and asks for a radio, I recommend you politely decline.

* What would you suggest to be done for the future years of your department that aren't already in motion?

More people who are Rangers AND part of another department would be nice - feels like we're very insular. 99% of the job is at-con, so people whose work is mostly before con would be glad additions to the team, even if only for one shift on one day.
