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.
