Board Openings for 2023

LAA Volunteer Hats Need Heads!

Our wonderful rewarding volunteer hats need wearing! Late summer is when we start looking for new board members to fill openings. Currently LAA is in need of 3 people for the following board positions for 2023:

* Secretary (Officer) - takes minutes at the Board meetings. This role is critical to fill as we are obligated to take minutes! Time commitment is only a few hours a month.

* Vice President (Officer) - someone to fill in for the President when they can't make it to a meeting. Time commitment is a few hours a month.

* Programs Chair - This role is ideal for someone who is interested in working with a wonderful team of folks already running activities and is interested in growing this area. The Programs Chair attends Board meetings representing this area. This role is 4+ hours a month(ish).

The main criteria are a willing spirit and the desire to work on a team. So please, if you have a few hours a month apply for one of these positions! And if you need more incentive, Georgia brings cookies.

Volunteer

Come join in! LAA needs volunteers throughout the year. Whether you are new to the group or a long-standing member who has expertise to share, we appreciate your contribution.

We’re always looking for volunteers with interests and skills in community outreach, fundraising, running or hanging shows, writing articles, and more.

Grant Writers

There are many grants available to organizations such as ours, and often they are not particularly difficult to get. The main problems are finding out about the grants and writing the applications. These can be challenging tasks, but they can also be very interesting, and, obviously, rewarding. The LAA board has decided that grant writing is an important enough function that it is worthwhile to create a position dedicated to securing grants for the organization. If you think that you might be interested in taking on this job, please contact Clark at president@livermoreart.org."

Video Editor

LAA, PAL and DAC need someone to edit our meeting videos so we can share them with the membership. You need to have some technical aptitude and a willingness to learn. Would require a few hours a month (4?). Christine W. is happy to share what she learned doing the December videos.

May be suitable for your teen who likes messing around with tech!

Interest Groups

The PAL/LAA/DAC Tech Group is reaching out to members who might have an interest in leading an art interest group via Zoom. It could be in any media, or any subject. The Tech Group is happy to help with any/all technical aspects. All you need to do is come up with the idea, set a schedule, and lead the group. Your group will be featured on all three websites and social media outlets. Let’s get a few groups going! For more information, please contact Lorraine Wells at dingbats@comcast.net

Looking for Demo Artists

The PAL/ LAA/DAC Tech Group is looking for demo artists to be featured in our monthly, joint Members’ Meetings on Zoom. While experience in your subject is (of course) required, experience with creating on-line content is not. The Tech Group is ready to help you with video, sound, lighting, and take you through a practice Zoom demo. Please contact Meghana Mitragotri at meghana.ms@gmail.com
