Seeking New Swarmcare Manager

 Nov. 14

Recently, there has been a vacancy at the Swarmcare Manager position of the Pirate National Committee board.

Our bylaws define the duties of Swarmcare Manager as someone tasked to “…welcome new activists and state parties into the swarm and continually measure the overall health of it. A typical task would be to call new activists just to make them feel welcome, and tell them when the next events — social as well as operational — take place.”

The United States Pirate Party is a party of state parties, and the more local you get, the more localized your Pirate Party gets. Each state party meets every Sunday during our Pirate National Committee meetings. It is during these meetings where the Pirate Party gets our business done. Nationally speaking, we are a bottom-up collective, not a national party dictating each branch’s direction.

The Pirate National Committee, as you can then guess, is the most important committee for the United States Pirate Party. Which is why keeping and maintaining a board for the Pirate National Committee is just as essential.

Perhaps you have always wanted to get involved and attend our weekly meetings, but didn’t want the stressors of being tasked with forming a state party/being the captain of your state party.

That’s okay!

If you were interested in getting involved with the United States Pirate Party, what better way to help than being a welcoming voice in the movement?

If you wished to become Swarmcare Manager, you have the opportunity to get involved without being tasked with state party formation. You can attend Pirate National Committee meetings, as well as take on your role as Swarmcare Manager, without the stresses of forming a party.

You would still, however, count as a rep for your state, meaning you’d also be helping the person who inevitably does wish to become the captain of their state party.

If you were interested, or perhaps know someone who might be, you can have them apply here.

The election to fill the vacancy will take place Dec. 6th.
