Mismanagement

Grand Master (GM)  
Everyone knows the GM does nothing, some of the things that the GM doesn’t do:

• The GM is the voice and face of the Hash
• Attends Big-Hump hashes regularly
  
• Leads the naming ceremony of new hashers
  
• Promotes our kennel by attending out of town big events
• Ensures that visitors are attended to and feel welcomed by hooking them up with a ride to the hash if needed or even finding or providing crash space
• Calls for and runs mismanagement meetings, makes final decisions in case of a tie
• Is knowledgeable of the kennel’s traditions as well as general hashing traditions and steers the hash toward those traditions whenever it runs astray
• Oversees special events
• Ensures that other committee members fulfill responsibilities, and fills in when needed
• Supports and encourages all factions of the hash including racist events
• This person should be an experienced hasher with previous mismanagement experience, organizational skills helpful
• Is generally accessible
• Is our PoPo (police) representative
• If two hashers wish to be co-GM’s, they should run as such at mis-elections

Religious Advisor (RA)

• Initiates (or supervises) chalk talk before each hash
• Encourages a prompt start time and keeps the hash moving throughout the evening
• Conducts the blessing of the hare/hares
• Recruits someone to write the Hash Trash for that evening’s trail
• Leads circle at end of each hash
• Responsible for providing good (or at least interesting) weather
• This person should be an experienced and knowledgeable hasher
• A loud and clear voice is a must and a sense of humor helps

Hare Raiser

• Solicit volunteer hares for upcoming hashes
• Explains expectations and responsibilities to new hares
• Educates new hares and reminds veteran hares of Big-Hump traditions:  Importantly:  that the hash covers the expense of one beerstop and the hares cover any additional beerstops.  In addition, only one hare runs free
• Impress upon the hares how important it is to have beer at the beerstop and to be ready to start by 7:00 on Wednesdays
• Encourages new hares to solicit a variety of veteran hares to co-hare with them to teach them the ropes
• Collect details (meet time, directions, theme, etc.) about upcoming hashes
• Post directions and e-mail to all hashers
