Expand the description of the State Manager (SM)

Requirements

To be eligible for the title of State Manager, an editor needs to be:

• Experienced rank 4 editor or better
• Active in community
• Active in the forums and chat
• Able to add / update wiki.
  

Roles & Responsibilities

SM responsibilities will include the following, but are not limited to:

• Having editing rights in their entire state.
• Making sure Unlocks/Updates related to their state are addressed timely.
• Working with editors on issues that are related to editing and other issues as they arise.
• Maintaining and updating a closures list / wiki (if necessary) for their state.
• Maintain/Update/Lead the Waze Forum State Page.
  • They can monitor the forum, post updates, keep enthusiasm about state discussions going, and help keep the RC informed.
• Help inform editors about existing policy and helps evolve that policy based upon their work within a state.
• Identify key areas in their state.
• SM will identify the good and the bad editors.
• Keeping RC (and local Champ where available) informed with good and bad editors (Basically the RC's would like to get the SM's opinion on an editor)
• Keeping an eye on newer editors throughout the state and educate them by mentoring them informally or formally.

How to become a State Manager

An editor must meet the requirements stated in the section Requirements. The final approval/decision will be assigned by the Regional Coordinator (RC) for that state.

This role is not the same as AM with a larger area. There is a much greater community involvement with this role. There could also be multiple SMs for a state.

If state is too small to have their own SM, then a neighboring SM would manage that state.
