For the most part, I am the main photographer for the team. I also work on team spirit and outreach. I'm one of the adults who have been through the security check for the school, which allows us to have meetings without a teacher being present. I also supply lots and lots of sugar (lollipops, cookies, brownies, toffee bark...). And as of last year, I now (*shudder*) chaperone on trips.
My job title is "Covenants Counselor". I work for the homeowners association for one of the largest planned communities in the country, and my job is to inspect houses for maintenance violations and design violations (see, I told you I was an Evil Overlord) and to help people with Design Review Board applications, and to help clusters keep their standards updated (each town house development is a "cluster" with their architectural standards). I'm responsible for 2,198 homes in 33 different clusters. No, I don't really see how my job is related to what I do on the team (other than the fact that I do a lot of photography for my job as well as for the team). But my job has taught me to be really calm in stressful situations. And I guess constantly working with homeowners has helped me with doing outreach. Before becoming a counselor, I was a meeting coordinator and helped facilitate DRB meetings and wrote minutes and such... (ick, minutes!)
