I would like to point out that although I have performed many of these tasks on
my own during my time as Competition Director, that does not necessarily mean
that it needs to continue that way for a future Director. He/she would
certainly be free to delegate responsibilities to members of the Committee.
However, there still should be a single "point person" (the Competition
Director) to assign resposibilities and coordinate the efforts of those who
have been delegated to. In other words, although the Competition Director is
ultimately responsible for making sure these tasks are completed, he/she can
run the committee however he/she sees fit.

Subject: [CCM] Wanted: CCM Competition Director
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
