What to expect as an Events Coordinator:An Events Coordinator for an ARTCC on VATSIM needs to be enthusiastic and engaged and able to handle multiple event planning situations, such as creating the events page, soliciting ZLC controllers as to what positions they want to work and then assigning them as needed, interfacing with ZLC's neighbors so everyone is informed about and involved in the planning of upcoming events that would impact ZLC or it's neighbors, acting as TMU for ZLC to laision between ZLC and VATUSA prior to and during events, and of course working during the event, and fulfilling the requirements for being an active ZLC controller.
While being an EC is not a "full time job", and there may be some periods where there isn't a lot of activity, it is by no means an "entry level position". Yes, it's a good first step if you want to become involved in ARTCC management on VATSIM, but it's not just a title next to your Discord name. The selected candidate will be expected to be an active and integral part of ZLC and should expect a significant time commitment will be required.
