send + receive: a festival of sound is looking to onboard new Board members. Understanding the lack of diversity in art spaces, we especially encourage people from marginalized communities and intersecting identities to apply and share this call with their networks. We invite you to self-identify in your statement of interest.

Roles and Responsibilities of the Board

Board members supports send + receive’s Director based on the identified priorities of the organization, including the following:

• Advises on proper and organizational sustainability as a non-profit.
• Plays an active role in the Board’s evaluation and planning efforts, including review of bylaws and other policies to ensure they are up-to-date and observed.
• Provides feedback on festival planning and programming in a strictly advisory role to the Director.
• Attends monthly meetings (currently held on Zoom) that are approx. 2 hours long. Board time commitment increases as the festival, and any ancillary activities, draws nearer.

Our Equity and Community Outreach committee will host public meetings throughout 2021, with the aim of developing recommendations and collecting community feedback for the Board. These conversations will help Board members to grow the organization in the years to come.

If you are interested in this volunteer position, please send a statement of interest to [email protected] until January 20, 2021.

If you have any questions, need assistance with your application, or have an accommodation request, please email us ([email protected]), or call us (204-298-1201).
