National Coordinator

 

The National Coordinator (NC) is the head of administration for a nation.  The national coordinator is also responsible for managing the regional coordinators.

Any member of MES may apply as a candidate in an election for national coordinator, though candidates without coordinator experience on a regional or higher level may be removed at the discretion of the national coordinator. Each regional coordinator in the US is eligible to vote in the election. The election is administered by the Club Director (or designated assistant).

The duties of the national coordinator are:

  • Communicate between the members of the MES and the Board of Directors.
  • Report monthly on the status of the Nation.
  • Coordinate with the National Conventions Administrator to choose sites for national events
  • Help members track their prestige, and to report that prestige to the organization
  • Help facilitate conflict resolution between members (see the section in this handbook on conflict resolution).
  • Provide leadership and guidance for the nation.
  • Maintain a positive identity for the nation.
  • (The duties may be altered with the future adoption of the new Membership Handbook).

The NC has the authority to:

  • Award General, Regional and National Prestige within the limits presented in the Prestige section.
  • Review prestige logs for all member class advancements and awards of MC 12-14.
  • Provide disciplinary action of members, including partial or full suspensions of up to six months and stripping of up to four levels of member class.

Facilitating communication within a club is essential to keep the club running smoothly. It is the national coordinator’s job to help the nation’s membership publicize their events within the nation. The national coordinator will also act as a contact point between the the Board and members of the Modern Enigma Society.
