Hello everyone,
I'd like to inform everyone about some of the positions currently open within Wikimedia District of Columbia. We are seeking volunteers for three positions, outlined below:
1. Event Coordinator
We are looking for a volunteer to serve as the chapter's Event Coordinator. The responsibilities of this position are not yet fully defined, and candidates are welcome to propose particular arrangements with which they would feel most comfortable.
At a minimum, we would like the Event Coordinator to organize two events over the course of the 2011-12 fiscal year; the precise nature and time of the events is up to the Event Coordinator (within reason, of course), and suggestions are welcome.
2. Director
As all of you know, the recent election of the Board of Directors resulted in only six of the seven available seats being filled; the Board will therefore be required to appoint an additional Director to serve until the next scheduled election.
We are currently continuing to seek potential candidates for the open seat; anyone interested in the governance of the chapter and willing to participate in Board meetings is invited to submit their name for consideration.
3. Committee members
We are also looking for additional volunteers to serve on the following committees:
- Audit - Members will review the chapter's financial records and practices. Some degree of accounting training or experience is preferred, though not required.
- Fundraising - Members will assist in developing the fundraising plan for the coming year and help prepare solicitations and grant proposals.
- Legal - Members will advise the Board on legal and contractual matters. Some degree of legal training or experience is preferred, though not required.
If anyone is interested in any of these positions, please contact me. In addition, if you know of someone who may be interested but who is not subscribed to this list, please feel free to forward this email to them.
Cheers,
Kirill
