I have a question about the role of the Joint Chiefs.

Besides the fact that they get their title from being Chief of Staff, or Chief of Communications, or Chief of Administration, do they actually have a role as Joint Chiefs that is separate from the job they do as Chief of?

I guess, I'm wondering what their responsibilities are that are tied to being a joint chief that go beyond their Chief of role, if there are any.

Thank you.

An "Activity" could be something small as starting a conversation with the Branch members through the branch channels in discord, or something as big as a branch specific roleplay that helps the UFS story move forward, perhaps in the way of discovery of new tech.

Do greeters come under the office of retention since they were moved there last year or come under chief of administrator(previously chief of staff)?

Asking because I seem to be the only greeter at the moment I have the SL group and sort of unofficial at the moment was appointed in November last year by Lan.

I want to know what office we are under for when a coordinator is appointed as I am confused and don't see them mentioned anywhere.
UFS greeter if you are a new or existing member and require any assistance feel free to contact me.

Negative, the Greeter Coordinator does not fall under Retention or the Chief of Admin.

As per the vacancy listing for the Greeter Coordinator posted by the Chief of Communications ( viewtopic.php?f=1007&t=34438 )

The Coordinator falls under the Chief of UF Starfleet Communications

With the restructuring as announced above, Greeters have moved to the Office of the JC of UFS Communications, under the 'News & Promotions' section. Hence our advertisement for the Greeter Coordinator as a first step towards revitalizing this important aspect of outreach.
