Who hires the Organizer?
The Student Board of Directors oversee the recruitment, hiring and oversight of organizers and all PIRGIM staff. The Student Board usually performs this role by hiring the PIRGIM director and then transferring the authority of hiring the rest of the staff to the PIRGIM director. Organizers receive over a month of training in their first year on staff and are overseen by Organizing Directors with years of organizing experience. Q: How is PIRGIMs money spent? A: PIRGIM’s budget is devoted to winning campaigns researching issues, exposing problems, promoting solutions most of which goes to hiring staff of professionals. In addition to staff, the rest of the budget is given to various operating costs that make our students and program staff effective with publications and supplies, rent, etc. Students determine PIRGIMs budget each year by serving on the Board of Directors.
