Volunteer Job Name
Chapter Start-up At A Glance Guide

Volunteer job description

  • This job aims at making the startup procedure for chapters more accessible and usable, by designing an interactive, graphical "map" showing the different steps of the process.
  • We're thinking about something along the lines of the the UPA Poster, but to be presented on the web site.
  • The map will be on the first level of the Chapters section of the web, with links to additional information, as appropriate.
  • The volunteer will be responsible for scoping the project, using existing chapter materials as a resource, developing the graphic design, and providing the content.
  • Note: most of the content is available in a step-by-step format, so the primary work on this project will be to do the graphic layout.
Time Frame and Work Effort
Approximately 40 hours. Start as soon as possible. Finish by April 30, 2003.

Number of volunteers You may volunteer alone, or put together a small team.

Coordinated by
Local Chapters and SIGs committee, Åsa Granlund, chair.
