We are looking for a new board!

06 May 2025

De Algemene Afdelingsvergadering komt eraan op 5 juni! 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 individuals for seven positions:

  • President
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Promotion and membership recruitment
  • General board member (3 persons)

Job title: Chairman 

As chairman, you are the face of the section. Namely, you keep in touch with DWARS nationally, other Political Youth Organisations 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 

 Als bestuurslid promotie en ledenwerving breng je alle activiteiten, evenementen en acties onder de aandacht van leden. Jij bent verantwoordelijk voor de social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) van de afdeling. Jij zorgt dus dat de leden op de hoogte zijn van de activiteiten en dat ze hier enthousiast voor worden! Op activiteiten voor nieuwe leden en wervingsevenmenten overzie jij dat mensen de juiste informatie krijgen en betrokken raken bij de afdeling.

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.

 

Does this look like fun to you? Stuur dan een berichtje naar de huidige voorzitter Dave Croes (voorzitter.leiden-haaglanden[at]https://dwars.org)! Voor algemene vragen over wat een functie inhoudt kun je ook contact opnemen met degene die de functie nu heeft.

You can mail this motivation to chairman.leiden-haaglanden[at]https://dwars.org and it will appear in the reader two weeks before the Departmental Meeting. The deadline for applications is 2 juni.
