Board
We need you…
Per the NCMC By-Laws, the following NCMC Board positions are to be filled in odd-numbered years (such as 2011): President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Awards Chair, Directory Chair, Membership Development Chair, Nominating Chair, Public Relations Chair, and Student Affairs Chair. The Section Chairs shall be elected by the voting members present at their respective section’s Annual Meeting in odd-numbered years. The Archives Chair, Professional Development Chair, and Newsletter Chair are elected in even-numbered years. Both the Section Chairs and the Committee Chairs shall be elected for a two-year term and are eligible to serve for two consecutive terms.
If you, or any NCMC member you know, is interested in working on the NCMC Board, we strongly encourage you to let us know. You need not have a specific Board position in mind, just a willingness to serve on the Board and act in the best interests of NCMC and North Carolina’s museum community. Participation on the Board is a great learning and networking experience!
