Procedures
New NACO contributors are required to be under review for a period until they are deemed independent. Records for review need to be submitted to the Funnel Coordinator until the new NACO contributor is out of review.
At this time, Ann Kardos is the Funnel Coordinator and all newly trained contributors need to submit their records to AUM for review. The review period is not for a “fixed” amount of time. New contributors will be under review until they are competent and feel comfortable creating NARs on their own. This could range anywhere from just a few months to a year. In the past, there were even some people who never left review and were more comfortable having all headings checked. It’s really about the comfort and abilities of the contributor!
