The operation of PIN consists of four levels of staffing;

  • Core

  • Advisory/Support

  • General Staff

  • Interns

Each level of staffing is specific in their duties and responsibilities in order to ensure each person's skills are used to their maximum potential in what they do best and are most comfortable.  This is a large part of the reason for the incredible success PIN has come to be able to achieve.

Core staff establishes all company policies and procedures and ensures all PIN staff are operating within proper parameters.

  GENERAL STAFF  

General staff are a very important part of our staff because everything is done from the heart.  General staff are volunteers who provide their skills at no charge to PIN in order to accomplish internship, or simply have something to do.  Their tasks can range from graphic art development to proof-reading, which is a very important factor in our news publishing.  They essentially handle all tasks that other PIN staff are not able to attend to or a general staff member may be more qualified at doing.  With PIN being a non-profit company, this provides an excellent opportunity for many people who are highly skilled in their talent but simply never had an an opportunity to shine, gain some recognition.

    Christopher Faukner Sponsor/Advisor      

Christopher is the president of C I Host, the sponsor and hosting company of PIN.  Christopher has been there for PIN and it's sister companies for a umber of years now and were it not for Christopher and C I Host, our readers probably would not be enable to enjoy the magnificent publication we have today.
