Be the New BFC Secretary
Our current unofficial secretary is leaving town in March. This is a good position for someone who cannot work distribution hours, and needs to fulfill their work obligation remotely/ on a flexible schedule. This position counts for full time commitment (4hrs/ 4wks), and you will be under the same terms as a committee head (currently being drafted in new bylaws, tentatively 6 months). Are you the next BFC secretary? Contact Laura
Skills:
- Be familiar with BFC history, goals, and general cooperative principles. Someone who has been a longstanding member would be ideal, but a new member familiar with food cooperatives would be fine too
- Have regular internet access and be familiar with basic HTML and be comfortable editing content in WordPress, Mailchimp and Google Groups.
- Basic photo editing / type or graphic design / copywriting skills would be preferable but not necessary (it will make the job easier)
Responsibilities:
- Post meeting notices & reminders (location, date & time) to website, google groups, facebook and newsletter at least 24hrs before the meeting
- Post meeting minutes to BFC website – you need not be at every Monthly General Meeting, but you should coordinate with someone who is going to take notes. Coordinate with Committee Heads to obtain and post committee meeting minutes.
- Keep the BFC google calendar up to date.
- Manage the newsletter – compose / copy editing. You can either do this yourself or find another member to put together the actual mailchimp newsletter.
- Timely communication with other committee heads and coop project leaders to obtain the content needed for meeting notices and newsletters
- Work with the Outreach Committee Head to audit and update BFC website page content (monthly).
What you are NOT responsible for:
- composing meeting agendas and leading meetings (that is the Meeting Coordinator’s job)
