Applications Board and CashCo 2019/2020

The General Branch Meeting is coming up on June 24! A number of new board members will also be elected at this AAV for the next six months. 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 an activity, so you are involved at least one evening a week.

Experience is not a problem, we are mainly looking for enthusiastic people who would like to contribute to the department. You will quickly get to know the department and the entire organisation better and gain the necessary knowledge.

We are looking for people for seven positions:

• President
• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Promotion and membership recruitment
• General board member (we are looking for 3 people for this)

Job title: Chairman

As chairman, you are the face of the department. Namely, you keep in touch with DWARS nationally, other PJOs in the region and the members of DWARS Leiden-Haaglanden. You are responsible for ensuring that all tasks are carried out and keep everything orderly within the board.

Job title: Secretary

As secretary of DWARS Leiden-Haaglanden, you keep everything running behind the scenes. You are the first contact person for internal communication within the department. You make sure members are informed about what is happening and welcome new members. You do this by keeping the mail up to date, writing newsletters, maintaining the website and taking minutes during board meetings.

Job title: Treasurer

As treasurer, you are responsible for the financial situation of the department. You prepare the annual budget, manage the bank account, keep the accounts and ensure that there are enough financial resources to organise activities and set up new campaigns.

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.

! At this position, you can also run for vice-chairman. As vice-chairman, you are responsible for leading the board meetings and activities when the chairman cannot be present. In principle, this has no additional time commitment. Would you like to become vice-chairman? Then put a short piece in your motivation letter why you should be elected vice-chairman!

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.

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?
