A CALL FOR NEW VBMS BOARD DIRECTORS
The Victoria Baroque Music Society is looking for several new directors to join the Board starting in Fall 2021.
The VBMS Board includes 12 directors plus 3 ex-officio Victoria Baroque musicians, usually meets for about an hour once a month to receive reports from the Treasurer and the Artistic Director and to deal with any matters arising concerning concerts and other events, funding and fund-raising, policies and administration, etc.
VBMS does not at present have any paid staff, though it has a part-time volunteer administrator, so Board members are involved in all activities of Victoria Baroque, sometimes with the help of outside volunteers.
Board directors are appointed for two-year terms, which can be and often are renewed. Normally a slate of nominated directors is elected at the AGM.
In particular, as our current Treasurer is retiring, we are looking for someone with accounting expertise who might be interested in taking over this role. We would also be very pleased to have more fund-raising expertise on the Board.
If you are interested in joining the Board, or know anyone who might be interested, please let us know at victoria-baroque@shaw.ca.
