To make it easy, we even put a few change questions at the end of each letter proposal we send you. Progressive Secretary couldn't function without volunteers. They propose the letters, write, edit, verify, and proof, so that every letter that goes to our participants as a proposed letter truly comes from participants. Suggestions by participants are always listened to, because Progressive Secretary is a volunteer-driven cooperative. If you have a little time, and reasonable skills in writing, editing, proofreading, internet research and web surfing, or if you know something about computer programming and functioning, there is work for you.
Volunteers do only what they have time to do.
Most all jobs take an hour or two, and we try to spread the work out so that no one gets saddled with more than they want. When you complete the brief questionnaire upon joining, we'll ask you several questions about whether you'd like to volunteer, in what areas, and how much time you can commit. Later, if circumstances change, you don't like the assignments, or you don't have the time, you can drop out easily, without recrimination. Jim Harris and Pat Murphy, who are the most visible names in Progressive Secretary, are volunteers like everyone else. They just spend more time at it than most volunteers can afford to give.
