Vacancies: Board members and CashCo!
13 December 2018
The next General Branch Meeting (AAV) will take place on 16 January 2019 and you can apply now for a board position or for the audit committee!
One component of the AAV is the election of a new board. The board takes care of the day-to-day running of the department. They organise the activities, maintain internal and external contacts and ensure that the members can develop as much as possible at DWARS. Once every fortnight there is a board meeting and the other week is usually the activity, so you are involved at least one evening a week.
The positions of chairman, secretary and treasurer are set for the period of one year according to the By-Laws, but the board member promotion and membership recruitment and the general board members have been appointed for six months, at the bottom of this post you will find the job descriptions! If you would like to get actively involved in the ward over the next year and join our board, you can apply for these positions now. Applications are open to all members living within the ward.
In addition, we also propose a new Cash committee (KasCo) to. The CashCo monitors the department's financial policies. They meet twice a year for an informal meeting with pizza! Would you like to become active in the department but do you think governance is too big a task? Do you enjoy dealing with money and do you like maths? Then join the KasCo of DWARS Leiden-Haaglanden.
Would you like to apply? This can be done for both the board positions and the KasCo by writing a motivation letter in which you introduce yourself, mention relevant experience, if you have any, and tell why you would like to be on the board of DWARS Leiden-Haaglanden, this will then be shared with the members in the AAV reader so that they can read into the motivations. Your motivation letter can be sent to 5 January mail to secretaris.leiden-haaglanden@dwars.org. If you have more questions about a position or applying, you can email to secretaris.leiden-haaglanden@dwars.org or contact a board member. We look forward to receiving applications!
Job description: promotion and membership recruitment
As a board member of promotion and membership recruitment, you will bring all activities, events and promotions to the attention of members. You manage the board telephone and are responsible for the department's social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat). So you make sure members are informed about activities and that they get excited about them! At activities for new members and recruitment events, you oversee that people get the right information and get involved in the department. You do this in cooperation with the other board members, but you are responsible within the board.
Job title: General Board member
As a general board member, you are a bit of an all-rounder. You help the other board members when and where necessary. So you will be involved in organising activities, but there are opportunities to take on other portfolios as well and thus make a broad contribution to the board.
