# 10. Add Local Experts

## How to add local experts

This template allows the appointment of local experts to your DAO.

A Local Expert is appointed within a specific DAO, and their authority is limited to that DAO. These experts can be delegated tokens from the treasury of the respective DAO.

With this template, you can propose adding trusted individuals or entities as Local Experts for your DAO. These experts can then provide valuable domain-specific knowledge, advice, and services to guide the DAO's decisions and operations within their area of expertise.

Some key points about Local Experts:

* Their influence is scoped only to the DAO they are appointed in, ensuring decentralization across DAOs.
* DAO can allocate tokens from its treasury to the Local Expert as compensation for their contributions.
* Local Experts can be consulted for informed opinions and recommendations on relevant proposals.
* They act as subject matter specialists, enhancing the DAO's collective intelligence in that domain.

To use this template, provide details about the proposed Local Expert, their areas of expertise, and the scope of their responsibilities. The community can then evaluate and vote on appointing them through the standard proposal process.
