# Directors onboarding

1. Add to directors mailing list
2. Send a welcome email to the directors mailing list, welcoming the new director(s).
3. Tell them when the meetings happen, when the next one is
4. Give them a link to this handbook
5. Meet new director in person\
   Assume that directors are new to both the Cable and lots of our structures and processes (e.g. sociocracy). This initial meeting is great for giving an overview of how the Cable is structure and introduce the new director any concepts that.\
   \
   Potential talking points:
   1. Structure of organisation
   2. What would they like to contribute to the Cable?
   3. What can the Cable do for them?

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://handbook.thebristolcable.org/staff-guides/learnings/onboarding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
