All Coordinators must work closely together, because the work product of one Coordinator is directly tied to that of the other. The ::State Election Action Squad Leader:: must play a key leadership role in ensuring these entities work together and communicate with one another.\\ \\ Success in the targeted Senate districts and key issues with the State Legislature will permit the Coalition to organically extend its operations throughout the State of Texas. Coalition VAs will be drawn from the HDs in the targeted districts and will require support and cooperation from the DCs and Integrative Systems Coordinators. VAs drawn from this pool will likely need to commit much of their time to the EAS Coalition due the magnitude of the effort. This must be a long-standing COS Coalition to achieve the objectives stated in this Charter and will need to be supported and staffed by COS HDs for an indeterminate period of time.\\ \\ **MEETINGS**\\ \\ The EAS Coalition Leadership Team will meet bi-monthly via a dedicated EAS Slack Channel, Zoom or other communication means to review progress within each Coordinator’s area, share learnings and improvement opportunities and develop:revise plans for the next three rolling months. Weekly communication will occur among Coordinators, VAs and other Key Interfaces via phone, Slack, ZOOM and email.\\ \\ \*\*APPROVED%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%% Date%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%_\*\*\\ \\ **State Coalition Director:Advisor**\\ \\ \*\*APPROVED%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%% \_ Date%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%%%**%%_\*\*\\ \\ **State Director**\\ \\ **ABBREVIATIONS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE**\\ \\ **EAS –** Election Action Squad (COS Coalition)\\ \\ **VAs –** Volunteer Activists (COS active volunteers)\\ \\ **HDs –** House Districts (COS District Captain districts)\\ \\ **VIs –** Volunteer Interest (COS petition signers who showed interest in volunteering)\\ \\ {{:public:cb\_mirror:media:image2.png|Graphical user interface, diagram, Teams Description automatically generated}}
