Responsibilities:
The job of the CMX Connect Director is to plan and facilitate the CMX Connect events for your chapter on a near monthly basis. As the Director, you are the main point of contact for the community members of your chapter
Directoring 6-8 events per year
We take into consideration how eager your community is, as well as natural slow periods in the year, and personal limitations.
Typically, this requires about 2-3 hours of work per week
Use the CMX Dashboard
Directors must use the CMX Dashboard (events.cmxhub.com) to manage all event-related communication and planning.
It is imperative that all event creation, RSVPs, member information, and anything else related to the event process is done within the CMX Dashboard.
Deciding the topic, securing the venue and speaker(s) for events
It is the responsibility of the Director to choose and secure a venue and to select and secure relevant speakers/panelists, or to facilitate a roundtable discussion.
Fostering an open and welcoming environment to all who attend
CMX Connects provide a space for everyone to come together, connect, learn, and grow with each other. We strive to create safe spaces for people regardless of race, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, or religion (or lack thereof). *Please make sure your venue is wheelchair accessible.
Communication with CMX
We believe open communication and dialogue between the Directors and the CMX HQ team is invaluable. The majority of communication between CMX HQ and Directors will take place in the #connectDirectors Slack channel. This is where important information is shared and announcements are made. It’s imperative that Directors check Slack regularly to stay up to date
We ask Directors to serve for one year terms, and in most cases we offer the opportunity to renew their agreement each year.
Director Benefits
Our Directors are building and growing a CMX community. Once it is clear a Director is committed to the responsibility of the role, and the Connect program, they will receive the following benefits:
a free CMX Pro Membership (a $750 USD yearly subscription).
free access to CMX Academy (each course is $499 USD).
free entry into the CMX Summit Directored in early fall each year. ($850 USD value)
*Bevy and CMX reserve the right to revoke or not provide these incentives if the Connect Director is not, or appears to not be meeting the expectations outlined above.
A Director receives these benefits when they have shown commitment to the program and to growing their chapter. You are building a community, which requires your time. This includes but is not limited to:
Directoring at least four successful events (using the CMX dashboard properly to create events, send emails, check people in, etc.)
Evidence of chapter growth, innovation, and future thinking (future events published ahead of time, consistent event schedule, etc.)
Showing commitment to the program such as:
Utilizing the CMX Connect Playbook
Extra content creation (blog posts, photos, videos, social media, etc.)
