Hi all -

I am on the small, national steering committee of the 1-year-old AIDS 
Treatment Activist Coalition (ATAC). We have one staff person, hired in 
September, who is serving as our coordinator. We are a national, 
decentralized group and the steering committee communicates 
primarily via email and monthly conference calls.  

I am seeking resources or guides or experiences with setting up 
ongoing structures and supervision for meeting the challenges of 
setting up an efficient and supportive environment for a lone staff 
person for a mostly virtual membership organization... Any ideas?  


Best wishes,

Julie Davids
