Your role as a sign chair is to organize sign requests and sign distribution. By managing sign requests on Liberalist, you are consolidating your information in one central, easy-to-use location to help you more efficiently and sustainably engage supporters and increase visibility for your team on the ground. Liberalist also maps the distribution of your signs and helps you create lists based on geographical limits that you establish using the tool Turfcutter. Your team may be focused on increasing the number of signs in the riding or looking to maximize the signs you purchased by placing them strategically, either way Liberalist can help.
You will be creating lists of sign requests collected by your canvassing team and providing those lists to your sign installers. Your work as a sign chair is to distribute sign requests and coordinate the installation of the signs. Liberalist is your tool to manage the information about individuals who have requested signs online and during door to door or phone canvassing.
