CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 2013-14 VANS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
-
Posted by
The VANS Board of Directors is seeking nominations for new regional representatives to serve on our Board of Directors starting June 1st in La Baie Ste. Marie/Yarmouth and Darthmouth/Fall River/Sackville.
Any nominees who put their name forward will stand for election by the membership at VANS Annual General Meeting on Saturday, June 1, 2013 in New Glasgow.
Overall, a regional representative believes wholeheartedly in the importance and value of VANS to the visual arts community and the representative should be able to endorse the mandate and objectives of our organization without reservation.
Being a regional representative also offers visual artists and members of the visual arts community an exceptional volunteer opportunity to contribute to the advancement of the visual arts in Nova Scotia and the ongoing sustainability and direction of VANS, in general.
If you are interested in nominating a member or putting your own name forward and would like additional information, please contact Briony at director@visualarts.ns.ca or Andrea Puszkar at puszkar@rocketmail.com .
