Each member of any Headquarters Staff will of course have their own specialties, expertise, and weaknesses. It is also necessary to distribute the workload so that too much is not placed on any one plate. Consequently, many specific tasks may be assigned to individual workers or groups of workers.
Because the Society needs to speak with one voice, and to minimize confusion, this should be hidden from members and the general public to the extend extent possible. Just as the Society will have only one mailing address, Headquarters should have only one email address, with internal functions that distribute mail and email to the proper recipient for any given day and topic.
That said, once a staff member engages a member or non-member in a particular issue, they should remain the primary contact for that person on that topic. There may be cases where an issue involves several members of the staff, and care must be taken that all speak alike, and this is best done by having one of the group take primary responsibility for communications. While this can cause inefficiencies, they are preferable to sending out mixed messages.
Once Consuls are out of the pictureoffice of Consul has been discontinued, it may prove prudent to place one individual in charge, perhaps with a title like "Office Manager". Of course, if an [[Executive Director]] is named, they would be that individual.
Obviously, these are all plans that will fall with first contact with an expanded staff, so perhaps the above should be taken in the context of what the Consuls hope for rather than what they will impose.
