Roles

The idea of ASRG is not to focus on a large hierarchy. We focus on the organization itself, and creating value for the members. To achieve this, we use a very flat organization. From an external view, there is only one role, the Organizer. Internal to the organization, there might be different roles which are focused on different responsibilities or areas of development. See below.

Organizer	Workshop Coordinator		ASRG chapters host quarterly workshops to engage members with hands-on activities in automotive security. Workshops are typically held in one of two ways: 1) a sponsors hosts the workshop where they are showcasing their knowledge and products in a way that serves an educational purpose, or 2) a set of course content is developed within the ASRG to run the workshop. Remember, workshops can be run multiple times, so new courses DON'T need to be developed every quarter. In addition, workshops should target entry-level people to give them a means of getting real experience in the space. The Workshop Coordinator is the role that develops, plans, and leads workshops for the group!	Develop ASRG workshop content (slide deck, "follow-along" guide, other necessary materials) Find a location to host the event, that includes necessities like a projector/screen, power outlets to support students, space to use hardware, etc. Most likely, this will be an ASRG sponsor's location. Plan a "meetup event" at least a month ahead of time to allow adequate marketing of event. Plan food for event, as workshops typically run 2-3 hours.
Organizer	Participant Engagement Manager		The ASRG is focused on creating a community that serves its members and sponsors. One important component is to help create conversations in the Slack channel to get the community talking to each other. This will offer tremendous insight into what the community is thinking alongside create exciting conversations to keep members engaged. Further, as a part of participant engagement, surveys and other tools can be used to elicit feedback from members following ASRG events.	On a regular basis, create conversation in the social media and communication channels by providing news sources, opinions, or questions. The best way to do this is to come up with a list of topics ahead of time and slowly mention them over time. Following monthly ASRG meetup events, ASRG workshops, and other ASRG events, eliciting feedback from members to understand where members want to see the group go and how we can improve. Create a slide with the highlights and share with other chapter leaders and volunteers in the GCM and regional coordination meetings.
Organizer	Sponsorship Developer		Sponsors donations fund the work, research and events at ASRG. As a result, the ASRG will use funds to support novel, forward-thinking research to advance the automotive security space in addition to providing value to sponsors. Typically, sponsors for the ASRG are either security companies that do business in automotive, tool makers that create tools to support the space, and automotive companies that want insight into the space of automotive security. To develop sponsors with ASRG, potential sponsors need to be identified and targeted for sit-down conversations that go over the marketing information for ASRG. In addition, target sponsors are invited to come to ASRG events to see what we're all about. Finally, ASRG sponsors can come in a few forms: 1) monetary sponsorship to support ASRG efforts, 2) resource sponsorship for meeting locations and speakers.	Generate a list of companies to target for sponsorship and engagement. Reach out to companies to explain mission, value add. Those people reached out to should be invited to engage with the group.
