Volunteer Opportunities
Whether for a single event or an executive position, the Seaton Village Residents' Association, including elected officials, is operated entirely by volunteers. As many of you know, volunteering is a great way to meet people, apply your skills and support your favourite neighbourhood. Watch this space for your chance to join the SVRA adventure. There is always room for more help, whether an extra pair of hands to move furniture on-site for a meeting, or on a project with one of the SVRA committees or SVRA executives.
We need you NOW! SVRA Communications/Membership Coordinator to start August 18. RSVP
Needed by August 18
SVRA Communications/Membership Coordinator
This important role is fluid; it can bend and turn according to the proclivities and interests of the individual in the role. There is no required number of hours per day or week, but you can expect to devote roughly five to eight hours a week to the role, especially checking and responding to emails every day or two, and organizing and attending meetings and events. As you might expect, some weeks are busier than others.
These are the core responsibilities:
- You would be part of our warm and welcoming executive team, which means participating in our meetings and our written correspondence, and playing an active role in decision-making.
-
You would be the primary conduit for all SVRA written communications. You, together with the Treasurer, would welcome new members and you would be the one to ensure they are added to the appropriate SVRA email lists.
-
You would be responsible for updating SVRA members with SVRA-related news and posts. This includes but is not limited to upcoming SVRA meetings and events, City-wide public consultations and where feasible, the results of these consultations.
-
You would be part of the planning process for all our meetings and events, including membership drives, fundraisers, educational events, general meetings and our AGM.
-
You would ensure that meeting minutes are recorded and filed; you would help us to look into AI options to eliminate the need for typed minutes.
-
You would oversee our website (wix) and any other social media sites we utilize, e.g. Google Groups.
In return, you would become an integral part of an active, engaged and interesting aspect of Seaton Village life. Most importantly, you would win our eternal gratitude.
