Model Job Descriptions
It shall be noted that the following positions and job descriptions are offered as idealized models, for information and guidance only. The AGS understands that the highly varied character of each affiliate in terms of size of membership, geography, availability, time constraints and financial resources will have marked influence on the ultimate structure and function of the affiliate.
The positions listed below are not required for the formation or maintenance of official affiliate status but may be instrumental in allowing the affiliate to achieve its goals. Some longer established affiliates have budgets supporting part or full time paid administrative staff.

Public Policy Director & Special Projects Coordinator
