Coordinator duties
Regional coordinators are responsible for keeping the volunteers in their region in touch with each other and keeping track of who's doing what. They make sure that requests for proclamations have been sent to local and regional government officials in their areas and track responses. They should keep a calendar of any planned events, and work with the other committees and coordinators to help people in their region get the resources they need.
