Do you want to help oversee the steering of the great ship GVIAS? Then consider nominating yourself for the board!
The Board of Directors is a governance role focused on administering an Art Society under the British Columbia Societies Act. This is a behind the scenes role with year round monthly responsibilities and a 2 year commitment term. The Board liaises with year round Committee Members, and enables Production teams to do their work, so we do not directly produce events. If you are more of a “hands-on” person, then you may find a production role or joining a year-round committee role more fulfilling – see below.
This year the Board of Directors is actively seeking and encouraging members with the following qualifications to join the board:
Accounting / Finance – We are seeking someone with an accounting background to be our next treasurer, to help implement sound financial management practices, and investigate tax saving opportunities.
Communications – The board wishes to take a more active role in communicating directly with the membership, particularly around organizational governance matters. We welcome and encourage those with a strong communications or PR background to step up and get involved.
Governance – In the coming year the board intends to review our existing bylaws, membership practices, and internal protocols and policies. Are you a Societies Act superstar? Do you know Roberts Rules of Order like the back of your hand? Do you have a background in HR? We’d like to hear from you.
