Tech Leads
What is a Tech Lead?
A Tech Lead provides tech help for a Braver Angels Alliance. They can voluntarily assist an Alliance in multiple ways:
Learning how to use Google Workspace
Generating reports using the Alliance Data Toolkit
Serving as technical contact with Braver Angels National for any changes to Alliance resources (i.e. Data Toolkit)
Learning about new tech tools at Mini-Learning Trainings
Exploring the use of additional Alliance tools (i.e. MailChimp, Google Sites, etc.)

Featured Testimonial
"I've been volunteering as a Braver Angels Alliance Tech Lead for about a year, first for Columbus, Ohio and then for all of Ohio. It's felt good to be so appreciated - the Alliances around here, at least, don't have all that many tech-savvy folks with much time on their hands, so even a simple service like organizing a Google Drive folder can make a difference in how well the Alliance runs."
- Jacob Rodeheffer, Tech Lead, Ohio
FAQ
I am an Alliance Co-Chair interested in having a Tech Lead. How do I find one to support our Alliance?
If you are a new, incoming Alliance Co-Chair to an already existing Alliance, you might already have one! You can check by viewing the Leadership Contacts within the Field Leaders Add-on featured in your Braver Angels Google Workspace account.
For Alliance Co-Chairs forming a new Alliance or looking to recruit a new Tech Lead, the Alliance Data Toolkit is one of the best ways to find a potential volunteer in your location area. Please contact Louis Tsien at ltsien@braverangels.org for further assistance.
I am a tech-savvy volunteer interested in helping my local Alliance. How can I contact them?
Please visit the Alliance and State Directory to find your local Alliance(s).
Does a Tech Lead need a Braver Angels email address?
Yes. The Braver Angels email address provides access to a variety of data tools. Please have your local Field Leader (Alliance Co-Chair, State Coordinator, or Regional Lead) fill out this form to request a Braver Angels Google Workspace account.
