We are a small but growing society, bringing an annual season of concerts across a variety of musical disciplines to the Creston Valley, running from September to May each year.
Director of Grants & Funding Liaison
We are looking for a volunteer to join our board who would be interested in grant writing.
Your time commitment needs some flexibility as grant deadlines can be at any time of
the year. However, our main grant activity is through the BC Touring Council (deadline
end of June). The board meets once a month.
Essential components of the position involve: searching for eligible grants/funding
opportunities, gathering appropriate documentation (e.g. letters of support), liaison with
funders, grant writing and submission. As well as being computer literate, you will need
to be confident with online submission processes. We would of course provide
mentorship to help you familiarize yourself with the role. An interest in music would be
an asset.
If this position is of interest and you would like to know more please contact our current
director of grants and funding liaison Eloise Carr by emailing: grants@crestonconcertsociety.ca
Director of Membership & Website
This volunteer position is a commitment of approximately 2-3 hours per week during the concert season, in addition to participating in our monthly board meetings. We’re prepared to provide the necessary guidance to help you become acquainted with your responsibilities.
Key responsibilities for this role include:
- Managing our member and supporter databases.
- Serving as the point of contact for inquiries.
- Sending out concert invitations.
- Collaborating with the treasurer to facilitate online ticket sales.
- Maintaining and updating the website as required.
Being computer literate is important, and having the ability to create Word documents and Excel spreadsheets will be valuable. While not mandatory, a passion for music is certainly a welcome attribute.
If this opportunity aligns with your interests and skills, please feel free to get in touch with our current Director of Membership and Website Kristyna Svecova, at info@crestonconcertsociety.ca.
