Site Administrator
Description of Responsibilities

The role of site administrator is a volunteer position; however, it holds a great deal of responsibility.

  • The Site Administrator must be a leader, yet be flexible and willing to work with The Mommies Network to create, develop and manage a Network community.
  • The Site Administrator must be willing to devote approximately 10 hours per week to the development of the group. She must be able to work with many different types of people and must be open-minded and non-discriminatory. She must be willing to handle conflicts that arise among the membership in a diplomatic manner.
  • The Site Administrator must be willing to research and plan local event and charitable outreach opportunities and encourage members to participate in events planned by the group.
  • The Site Administrator must be willing to seek out free local publicity options (newspaper calendar listings, organization listings, etc.) to help promote the group.
  • The Site Administrator must be willing to raise funds to help support the group. The Mommies Network will purchase and pay for the website name and the webhosting, technical improvements and some promotional materials. The Site Administrator will be responsible for raising any additional funds needed to aid her in managing and promoting the group and covering some expenses for activities (i.e. nametags).
  • The Site Administrator must understand that starting a group is a long-term commitment and that it will take some time to establish a group. The Mommies Network promises to support the Site Administrator in any way possible to help her successfully develop and manage the group.
  • The Site Administrator must agree to recruit her own support team, including a management team and a team of moderators that will help plan events and moderate the forums.

The above does not in any way cover the entire scope of the position of Site Administrator, but is merely given as a short list of qualities a successful Site Administrator must possess. The duties of the Site Administrator will flex as the group grows and expands and can not be listed exclusively on this page.
