This article will walk you through adding Organizers and Directors to Empower. For more information on the difference between these roles, see our article on Understanding Different Roles and Permissions.

Adding Organizers

  1. To add an Organizer to your campaign (you must be a Director to do this), click People in the menu on the left and then click Add and then Add person button.






  • Enter information for the person that you would like to add as an Organizer. The required information for an Organizer is name and either phone or email. You can use a nickname if your new Organizer prefers. 
  • Next, you can assign the Organizer to a Director. We recommend adding them to the Director who will be their point of contact for the organizing campaign.
  • Under the question How are they involved?, you can select: They're an Organizer for CAMPAIGN NAME who will be working with many Volunteers. 





  • Assign your Organizer to a region. Under What region is NAME personally part of?, you can assign an organizer to specific region. This is the region where you would like to assign your new Organizer. Within an organizing program, different regions can have different calls to actions. We recommend assigning your new Organizer to the region for which they will be managing volunteers in responding to calls to action.
  • Under What regions does NAME manage, you can assign your new Organizer a management role of specific regions. When a new volunteer signs up through a region specific invite link, they will be assigned to the volunteer who is managing their region. Additionally, Organizers can manage multiple regions and they do not have to be assigned to the region that they manage.



  • Click the Add Person button at the bottom of the screen to add the new Organizer.
