Team Leader Committee

Each team/shift has one individual who works at the Team Leader. Team Leaders are expected to be resourceful in answering questions and solving problems that come up during the shift. They are encouraged to become more familiar with store procedures through additional training, as well as to share that knowledge with the rest of their shift. They are able to use the Information Warehouse as a guide and can contact the Core Team members when necessary.

Team Leaders are encouraged to attend a monthly meeting to discuss items relevant to Team Leaders duties. Team Leader meetings are held the first Monday of each month, at 7:00 pm, at the CoG (note, in September we’ll be meeting on the 14th due to the Labor Day holiday.
