So, in 2024, to assist with reporting the impact of volunteer events (meetings, table-tops, gun shows, festivals, etc), Deb Gard worked with National on developing a standard for [[https://dashboard.conventionofstates.com/admin/tags|CitizenBuilder Tags]] used at events which increases efficiency for building event reports at all levels.\\ \\ **The tag naming convention was so successful that it was adopted by National. So, today, Florida works with National as follows:**\\ \\ We have both [[https://conventionofstates.com/grassroots-events-forms|National-paid events]] and non-paid events and, therefore, decided this as the best course of action:\\ \\ - **Florida provides oversight**, reviewing and approving ALL Tags for ALL Florida events.\\ \\ - To facilitate this, **any volunteer requesting [[https://conventionofstates.com/grassroots-events-forms|payment from National]] will need to CC the State Grassroots Coordinator (SGC)** so that the coordinator is kept in the process. We do not count on National to remember our process, so our own volunteers must be accountable.\\ \\ \\ - National will always REPLY ALL, so that the **SGC is included in the response.**\\ \\ - Based on that correspondence from National the **SGC will create the tag** in CB and place a copy in [[https://flor.zulip.conventionofstates.com/#narrow/stream/2323-event-tag-approval-florida|the #event-tag-approval-florida channel in Zulip]] for the event volunteer to use.\\ \\ - After the event, National requires the event volunteer to **submit an [[https://conventionofstates.com/grassroots-events-forms|ePEQ Form – Post Evident Evaluation Form]]**.  Florida requires that submission is **ALSO CC'd to the SGC.\\ \\ **\\ - **For non-paid events**, the event volunteer will [[https://conventionofstates.com/files/cos-fl-event-tag-creation-procedure|**create a Tag as outlined in this document**]], place the proposed Tag in the [[https://flor.zulip.conventionofstates.com/#narrow/stream/2323-event-tag-approval-florida|#event-tag-approval-florida channel in Zulip]] for review and approval by the SGC. \\ \\ We ask everyone [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ogxY1-AyeSbIivAoQDMuU-dx5PbR8_mZ01bnVIAb0vk/edit?usp=sharing|entering petitions]] (regardless of method used), to please adhere to this naming standard and work with your SGC to approve the tag for your event.\\ \\ [[https://conventionofstates.com/files/cos-fl-event-tag-creation-procedure/download|Download Florida's Procedural Document for Entering Tags]] //(instantly downloads to your Download folder)//\\ \\ | | ---- | __Page Metadata__ || |Login Required to view? |No | |Created: |2025-06-17 14:51 GMT| |Updated: |2025-06-17 14:51 GMT| |Published: |2025-06-17 14:51 GMT| |Converted: |2025-11-11 12:42 GMT| |Change Author: |Denah Butts | |Credit Author: | |
