Hello dear members and supporters of Anti-dote!
As you know, our AGM is coming up. Alison Sum, Nichola Watson and I are members of the nominations committee.
We are looking for energetic, committed volunteers to join the board of directors, especially new Aunties and Sistahs.
We know this is very late notice, but we are what we are! Women with really busy lives, just like you.
If you are interested, please contact me by phone (598-8693) or email jalee@uvic.ca. No later than this FRIDAY!!!!
I will ask you for a short statement on why you want to join the board, and a brief description of your experience and training (what you think you can offer).
The nominations committee are looking for two or three names to forward to the members at the AGM (April19).
You can also attend the AGM and nominate yourself or someone can nominate you at the meeting.
The member at large positions are "training" positions. So don't be afraid to step forward.
Director at Large- - have voting rights
We especially would like to invite anyone with Aboriginal background to join the board.
One of the best (and really one of the ways, at this point) to get involved in Anti-dote is to join the Board.
Our Board governance structure is really unique because it is participatory, inter-generational, and revolves, around sharing food.
Sandrina is the incoming President, but our fearless leader, Jin-Sun will still be present. We have a very stable leadership structure and we have lots of fun even thought we take our work very seriously.
There are some really exciting opportunities coming up.
Please consider lending us your passion, knowledge and time.
In good spirit,
Jo-Anne, Alison and Nichola
PS: Board meetings are open to all members. Check the website for dates, times and locations.
