Paid Staff

TCFN is primarily a volunteer organization, but paid staff members coordinate the volunteer activity. In 1998 TCFN first hired a General Manager and in 1999 a System Administrator. At present the positions are being redefined as follows.

The General Manager's primary responsibility is to oversee the management of the entire organization, including volunteers and members. The general manager should not attempt to do everything; rather she or he should know who is doing everything, and if possible, how. The general manager may also take an active role in fundraising and soliciting new partnerships. With the hiring of a Coordinator of Organization Services, this position will be reduced to that of Coordinator of Individual Services by January 2001.

The Coordinator of Organization Services is a new position which is responsible for management of all the Free-Net's services to organizations, including the Community Computer Access Network (C-CAN), Web hosting, and the Cities and Neighborhoods pages.
