Principle: Roles describe what we do, not who we are in a hierarchy.

We emphasize roles over titles. Members can hold multiple roles based on skills, interests, and organizational needs. Roles evolve as we grow.

Examples of roles at Mira:

• Leading Member - Manages a specific client contract
• Project Guardian - Oversees a Love Work initiative
• Board Member - Elected to handle operational governance
• Learning Experience Designer - Creates educational programs
• Community Weaver - Nurtures relationships and culture
• Systems Steward - Maintains organizational infrastructure

Creating or changing roles:

1. Identify a need or opportunity
2. Propose the role with clear responsibilities
3. Discuss with affected team members
4. Document the role in the handbook
5. Roles can overlap and evolve naturally
