Election Underway for First ArtsWORK Indiana Advisory Board
At its August meeting, ArtsWORK Indiana will hold an election of its first
Advisory Board. The meeting will take place at 2:00 pm on
August 26, 2010 in Adult Lecture Room A or B at the Indianapolis Museum
of Art. In advance of the meeting it is possible to submit your vote electronically. Persons without access to a computer or unable to attend the August meeting can vote by postal mail. Voting ends August 27th.As an informal, statewide group of people dedicated to promoting arts career opportunities for people with disabilities, the designated leadership roles for the organization had been limited to the (non-elected) Chairperson position. During the summer of 2010, the group identified additional, volunteer leadership positions that comprise its first Advisory Board. A list of Roles and Responsibilities of the board positions is posted on the Advisory Board page.
The following positions are up for election: Chairperson, Special Counsel, Secretary, Artist Representative, Website Manager, and two Organizational Board Representatives. (Note: ArtsWORK Indiana is nonprofit in its mission and activities, but currently not incorporated as such.)
