This document will give you the necessary information to become a Sponsorship member on Midnight Sun.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Join Slack - If you haven't yet, join our Facebook group and get on our Slack (uwmidsun.slack.com). Once you're there, join the #sponsorship channel (If you're confused on how to do this, just message @Micah Bai or @Clarke Vandenhoven (Deactivated)). 

  2. Learn about the team - Confluence is the go-to center for information on the team. Feel free to take a look around and get used to Confluence. In particular, we recommend (a) the General space for general info about the team and (b) the MSXIV Sponsorship Package & MSXII Sponsorship Package for more team info and some talking points you can use for reaching out to sponsors. 

  3. Ask for tasks - Once you're comfortable with the package, message @Kristen S on Slack, and we'll get back to you on next steps. Most of the tasks on the team are ad hoc, but we keep a Trello board going to keep track of major tasks (if you want to see that, message @Kristen S )

  4. Meetings - Also, try to clear out Wednesdays at 7:00 PM ET (general meetings), Tuesdays at 7:30 PM ET (Business Meetings) and Saturdays at 2:00 PM ET (Sponsorship Check-Ins)

  5. Good luck! The sponsorship team is one of the most important teams, and is filled with unique and interesting problems to solve!
