Open Board Positions
We are an all-volunteer non-profit organization. We do not take salaries nor wages from the Organization.
In addition to the basic responsibilities of each position, attendance at monthly meetings and at least one event is also asked of each Board Member.
FUNDRAISING COORDINATOR
The Fundraising Coordinator works with local & national businesses and organizations to hold fundraising events that help pay for all the rest of our events, and solicits donations. The ideal Fundraising Coordinator is not afraid to ask questions, send lots of emails, call people, and is professional & mindful.
VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR
We are looking for one person to join our current coordinator (this position is shared between two people). The Volunteer Coordinators oversee communicating with and recruiting volunteers for various events, but mainly our Festival in June. The coordinators also advise the board on how to best thank our volunteers and plan special events just for volunteers – but those only happen a few times a year! The ideal candidate is friendly and well-organized.
WEB DEVELOPER
This position primarily deals with upkeep of our website. We must ensure the public is aware of events, times, dates, scholarship openings, and so much more (because we do so much!), so having someone on top of web updates is vital.
An understanding of website builders (Squarespace, Wix, etc.), development principles, CSS, graphic design, and a familiarity with web design trends are ideal for this position, but being willing to update the website is most important.
FINANCE DIRECTOR/TREASURER
This position maintains our internal financial records and tracks expenses. The ideal Finance Director/Treasurer has experience book keeping, is detail-oriented, excels at communication, and has experience budgeting and working with businesses and third-parties to settle finances.
SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATOR
Our social media coordinator works with the Secretary and Graphic Designer to post event graphics, sponsorships, partnerships, and other advertising campaigns to our social medias. Knowledge of Meta/Business Suite) preferred (TikTok a bonus).
