Climb Athens is run on the volunteer labor of the members, board of directors, and managers. This three part structure is a really important aspect of Climb Athens.
Members: Members generate new ideas. In
addition to getting together to climb, members are encouraged to
discuss the operation and future plans of Climb Athens. Through
conversation in person and online, the membership are responsible for
expressing their vision of the future of Climb Athens, as well as
electing members to the board of directors. Through community
participation we hope to make better collective decisions about how best
to achieve the purposes of Climb Athens.
The Board of Directors: The
board members develop the ideas of the members into long term plans. are asked to meet regularly to both make decisions
about how best to work towards the purposes of Climb Athens, to assess
current programs, and when necessary, appoint managers who are
responsible for managing the day to day operation of Climb Athens
programs and facilities. The board is composed of members, appointed by
the board (the managers) and members, elected by the membership. The founding board included Jesse Stock, Bryant
Noble and Ted Welser.
Managers: The managers put plans into action for the day to day operation of Climb Athens at specific climbing resources like Beta Fish (now closed) and The Dojo (on hiatus till end of Covid-19).
