Project Leadership Team Member
As a member of the Project Leadership Team (PLT), you will help ensure your Be the Change Day (BTCD) project runs smoothly from a logistical standpoint. Your role is truly vital not only to the success of your project, but also to the overall day. Your general responsibilities as a PLT member are:

	Participate in a site visit (or meeting with your team if a site visit is not necessary) to:
	Familiarize yourself with the agency. Establish your relationship with the agency contact. Assess the tasks to be completed. Determine how best to allocate volunteers in order to complete the project on time. Assign team members to ensure the completion of  specific tasks.
	Ensure that your project will have the supplies needed to complete the tasks by completing a tool/supplies request form (not all projects need supplies). You will identify what will be provided by the agency and/or by Hands On Bay Area (HOBA). Requested and approved Project Supplies will be delivered to your project site! Project Site Checklist and Tool Form are due to HOBA by Friday, July 31, 2009.
	Identify any contingency plans so that on BTCD you are prepared to adjust the project should there be a medical emergency, rain, a smaller or a larger number of people attending, etc.
