Do you know someone who could be described as an energetic, dynamic individual looking for an opportunity to serve our community in a meaningful, positive way? The Friends of the Columbus Metropolitan Library is searching for people meeting that description to serve on the organization’s Board of Trustees.
Friends of the Library board members absolutely love the library and have a heart for volunteer leadership. Prospective trustees often have previous experience serving on boards or committees and this year, the Friends are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with finance, technology, legal, social media or marketing experience. Board members serve three-year-terms (donating several evenings each month), and enthusiastically network and advocate for the library throughout our community.
If this volunteer leadership opportunity sounds like it might be a good fit for you or someone you know, please take a look at the attached information packet and application: 2013 FOL Nominating Packet. Return the completed form (along with any additional materials detailing your skills and experience) to the address or email provided.
To be considered, submissions must be received by 5 p.m., October 31, 2012. The nominating committee will begin reviewing applications soon thereafter.
