Board of Directors
The Board Has an Opening for a Communications Chairperson.
There is an opening on the Friends board of directors for a Communication Chairperson. Would you consider filling it?
The pay is lousy ($0 per year), but the work is very rewarding, as you would work in tandem with a talented and very committed group of volunteers to ensure that key audiences know what’s going on with the Friends and how to take advantage of what we have to offer.
“We are blessed with so many dedicated volunteers who fill key roles in our organization,” explained Joe David, Friends president. “But, we have one gaping hole without someone to oversee our communications.”
David added that professional experience or training in communications is not a prerequisite for the position. “Organization, timeliness and the ability to write a clear sentence are more important than experience,” he said.
The Communications Chair is expected to attend a monthly two-hour board meeting (except for August and December) and, of course, ensure that appropriate communications are prepared, approved and distributed on time.
“There are a few basic things that would be required in support of special events and programs,” David said. “But anything beyond that would be at the discretion of the chairperson based on capacity and personal skill sets. In other words, we’re flexible.”
Anyone interested in finding out more about the Communication Chairperson position should either send an email to Joe David at joed1947@gmail.com or give him a call at 616-490-1742.
