Summary
Buddhist convention planning reviewed organizational structure, contrasting it with the Miss Universe model, via extensive discussion of necessary roles and partnership strategies for content creation and community engagement.
Organizational Structure and Roles
The convention could benefit from adopting the Miss Universe organization's communication model, focusing on a single source of truth for all stakeholders. The group defined several key roles, including Activity Coordinator, Convention Manager, and Partner Advocate, suggesting overlap between activity and partnership responsibilities.
Partnerships and Content Strategy
Partnership activities were defined as coordinating projects, securing donations, and fostering collaborative relationships with centers. Discussion focused on the need for content coordination, emphasizing social media integration and local services for master class content delivery.
Awards and Creator Selection
The team agreed on creating recognition programs, including the prominent “Influencer of the Year” award, and defining roles for its management. The need for a creator selection process was established, considering methods like evaluation criteria and motivation forms to replace time-consuming in-person interviews.
Suggested Next Steps
- Ngawang Trinley will check the online master class.
- CommOps Manager will publish stories to promote the winner of the Buddhist Influencer of the Year award.
- CommOps Manager will send Tenzin Palkyi the link discussed during the meeting.
- Norbu Tsering will check who is responsible for selecting the master class participants for the convention.
