The SIG's convenors and allies

(Section 2 of 3) Tip: co-convenors and allies are usually the first ones to sign up for events and respond to posts within the SIG, but more than that they're the people who can help you bring interesting topics of conversation to your SIG. They can also connect you to possible speakers for webinars, and problem-solve with you. Always ask for the help you need.

What's your name?(required)

If you're not the sole convenor, who are the others?

Who are your allies now and who do you know who could be one in the future?

Though allies are not required, they are highly recommended for an active SIG. It's recommended that all SIGs have at least 3 allies, but some bigger SIGs have more.

Do you think any of those allies would be interested in becoming a co-convenor?

If you answered 'yes' above, who? And in what way do you believe they could help with the SIG?

Would you like Q's help talking to them about becoming a convenor?

Besides allies, are there any other highly engaged participants who are often present in your SIG's discussions/events?

If so, have you considered reaching out to them directly and inviting them to a closer inner circle of the SIG? (i.e. turning them into allies)

Commitment and Expectations

(Section 3 of 3)

Do you feel that the time you and your co-convenors' invest in the SIG is worthwhile?(required)

If your answer above was 'yes', in what ways are you benefitting from being a convenor?

If your answer above was 'no', in what ways do you feel your work is blocked or otherwise not achieving what you expected?

In what other ways would you like to benefit from being a convenor?

Do you and your co-convenors wish to continue convening your SIG?(required)

If your answer above was 'no', who would like to step down from the function?

What are your next 3 exciting experiments/conversations?(required)

Choose 3 things the convenors are excited to host/experience themselves and/or a continuation of previous good work that's been done in the SIG.

Have you recently applied for Q funding?

If your answer above was 'no', would you be interested in more information about funding from Q?

As a convenor, you gain access in multiple Q funding streams. If you mark 'yes', the Q funding team will contact you with further information.

In which areas do you feel you could use Q support?

Examples: setting up zooms, promoting events, sourcing a Health Foundation speaker, strategizing your SIG's next steps etc. Also feel free to ask for new kinds of support below.

Is there anything else you'd like to tell the SIG support team?
