CCM Members, I'd like to step away from being the CCM Competition Director after holding the position for the past 6 years. I thought it might be a good idea to write up a short summary of the job, with a list of responsibilities and desirable skills that make doing the job easier. Resposibilities: -Create a schedule of events and recruit chairpersons for each event -Interface with autocross site owners to schedule events, coordinate logistics leading up to events, and follow up after events are completed -Compile autocross results; work with NCCC Governor to compile NCCC autocross results -Work with NCCC Governor to obtain event insurance coverage, supply insurance to site owners prior to events -Competition director is responsible for making arrangements to get the Club trailer to autocross events -Manage equipment for competition events, including updates and upgrades to equipment; charge batteries for timing system and transport to events -Form a Committee to provide decision-making direction to handle issues related to competition events, have (semi) regular meetings with Committee in order to do so -Work with Competition Committee to update CCM Competition Handbook annually -Attend CCM competition events, ensure events run smooth and be there to make decisions and handle issues that arise. Coordinate event "special teams" (registration, timing, etc.) -Report to membership regularly at meetings and via Slipstream -Communicate with NCCC and Detroit Council of Sports Car Clubs (DCSCC) entrants to provide results and receive feedback for results corrections Required/desirable skills that make the job easier: -Passion for CCM Competition and competition/autocross in general. I find that attending events outside of CCM helps to maintain a view of the bigger picture and keep an open mind -Regular access to email to perform tasks above, as well as communicate with event chairs, entrants, and potential entrants -Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Word. These tools are used extensively for compiling results, creating schedules, publishing reports, etc. -Willingness to learn new (old) computer software. Our autocross timing software is a bit dated, and takes some time to get familiar with -Familiarity with CCM/NCCC and DCSCC rules. This will make your life much simpler The position of Competition Director is a critical role within CCM, being that CCM is very competition-oriented. We need someone to step up and fill the role. I will be more than happy to provide assistance and guidance in any way that is required, and I plan to maintain a position on the Competition Committee in order to so. Please contact myself and/or Mary Wentzel if you are interested. Thanks, Chris Scafero CCM Competition Director, 2008-2013 734-748-9948 cscafero@xxxxxxxxx
