VMAA SEEKING BOARD NOMINATIONS
Secretary – 2020-2021 term (one year)
The secretary is an integral role in any board composition. They are responsible for attending regular board meetings, taking minutes, and providing documentation and archival support. Despite its critical significance, serving as secretary is a great entry-level board position for those new to nonprofit board service, and a fulfilling role for the experienced board member. Board experience an asset but not required. We are happy to train and guide you!
Please submit your resume and a brief summary outlining your interest in the position to: president@vancouvermetalarts.com.
Please indicate whether you would prefer to serve for a one-year term, or a two-year term.
