1) VOLUNTEER COORDINATORS/GRANT WRITERS/CO-DIRECTORS:

2 half-time staff people with successful grant-writing experience, to pull together existing y2k readiness suggestions and tools, and to identify all affected non-profits who can contribute to local y2k readiness. These folks will help grant-write to fund key community partners' y2k remediation, and help identify all potential y2k project assistance organizations (OPN, SAO, Libraries, Government Programs, etc.) that can benefit from grants and serve our community's remediation and contingency planning needs, as well as share the information globally to anyone who has need through a (probably non-interactive depending on budget) web site that documents our progress and shares our experience.

These positions will also do the funding work for this Team. One person should focus on existing public organizations and current partnerships and resources; the other person should have a background in non-traditional public organizations, both private and public community-of-concern organizations. This cross-fertilization ensures that more voices are heard from, and the broadest range of resources currently in place around our county is tapped.
