Vacancy of secretary Congress Committee
The Congress committee is looking for a secretary!
What does the Congress committee do?
The Congress Committee obviously organises the congress and the DWARS National Board. This includes making a script, asking speakers, finding locations and thinking about how best to organise the congress. The committee meets once every fortnight and every week as the congress approaches. Before the meetings, we eat together at DWARS's expense. Travel expenses to the meeting can be claimed via the claim form on the website.
What does the secretary do?
The secretary takes minutes of the meetings. The secretary also helps the chairman organise the congress and lead the committee. The secretary makes the schedule and keeps it up to date with the mail. Together with the chairman, the secretary ensures that Congress committee runs smoothly and has a good atmosphere. Also, the secretary replaces the chairman when needed.
In the week of a meeting and in the run-up to the congress, this function takes more time, but less in other weeks. You are also mainly busy in the evening, as that is when the meetings are. You will spend about 6 hours a week on it.
Who are you?
As secretary of the conference committee, it is important to be able or willing to learn the following:
- organising activities and meetings
- coming up with ideas for the congress or supporting the committee in this
- communicate well
- picking up various tasks or helping committee members with their duties
- learn new things
- having contact with different people
- teamwork
Even if you can't do this yet, that's not a bad thing. The important thing is that you are eager to learn.
