How to select an Assistant Organizer:
click 'Members' on the left side of your Meetup Group's homepage
click 'Make Assistant Organizer' under the member's photo.
Confirm by clicking 'Yes.'
From now on the assistant's name will appear as a contact below your photo and name on every page of the group.
While Assistant Organizers don't have identical powers to the Group Organizer, they can help with the things that take up the most time.
Assistant Organizers can
Schedule new Meetups
Edit existing Meetups
Create and edit polls
Edit the description of the group on the 'About' page
Email the group
Moderate the message board
Remove members
But only the Group Organizer can
Change essential details, including name or location of the Meetup group
Pick the main group photo
Change payment settings for the group
Designate or remove other Assistant Organizers
Get More Help - Assigning Titles
Another way to ask your members for help - without assigning assistant organizers - is to assign your members titles. These customized title appear next to the member's name throughout your Meetup group and are a good way to help you delegate some responsibility to your members. For example, you can assign a member the title of "Location Scout" - this would imply that they will help you pick a venue for your next Meetup. Here are some other examples: "New Member Greeter" - the person who welcomes new members at your next Meetup; "Snack Master" - the person responsible for bringing snacks to your next Meetup; etc.
The title you assign is completely up to you - just remember to check in with your members first (make sure they want to help out), and keep the titles positive!
To assign a member a customized title:
Go to your members page ("Members" link on the left hand side of your Meetup)
Click the member's name and you'll see "Add a customized title."
-
Type a title in the box, click "Save" and you're done!
