Operationally, What Do We Do?

- Execute and operate the entirety of Event Day, with hundreds of minors who are our responsibility
- We have very little margin for error
- We emphasize safety and documentability
- We need Event Day to consistently run smoothly
- There is a lot more that goes in behind the scene for recruiting, org management, driving growth, etc. but this is the extent of the "overview" we need for the project
Current Technological Context in SWAB
- In 2024, we introduced a new position called "Director of ITO" which has led to massive tech overhauls
- We have pivoted with most processes to optimized software and digital workflows to manage our outreach & operations
