Assembling Your Team

Yearbook teams vary in composition from a single project coordinator/designer to a small group of teachers/volunteers to a full yearbook committee with a large staff. 

Executive Committee members may include:

• Staff coordinator: At least one representative from the school's faculty, administration or PTA/PTO to approve plans, financial matters and provide final sign-off on your book.
• Editor(s)-in-Chief: One or two persons in charge of coordinating the entire yearbook process. The Editor-in-Chief manages schedules, assigns pages and staffing.
• Marketing & Sales Coordinator: Person in charge of the yearbook's financial management, including sales, ordering procedures, and related fundraising activities. This person may manage all lists - in-school distribution by email, names & contacts of people who run the school newsletter, newspaper, website, social media channels, and list of local businesses & service professionals.

The book itself is created by:

• Content Providers: People who collect or write articles/text for the book. Letters from administration, general activities reports, sports & clubs summaries, year-in-review content, surveys, superlatives, graduation quote collection, and other articles need project managers and authors.
• Photographers: Teachers, parent volunteers, your school photography company and students may contribute images. 
• Design team: The people who build the yearbook pages - the graphic design component of the project.
• Proofreaders: A small team who review every page for typos, inappropriate photos, images of "do not photograph" students, name spellings, missing portraits, and other must-fix issues.
