“Service to a just cause
rewards the worker with more real happiness and satisfaction than any other
venture of life.” Carrie
Chapman Catt (1859-1947); American Women's Rights
Activist
This quote inspired me today
to post on our blog. The WCA of Philadelphia is your organization.
Please consider volunteering to work with us on one of these committees. The
more volunteers we have – the stronger we are. Please contact one of your co-presidents,
Bonnie MacAllister or Ellen Bonett, your secretary, Laura Petrovich-Cheney or
your treasurer, Virginia Maksymowicz if you are interested in taking a
leadership role. The WCA Philadelphia needs your skills, talents and time.
Administration (participate
in chapter leadership, apprentice and train with the current board for a
position 2013-2014) These positions are terrific for networking and resume
development, and they require a small monthly commitment. A travel
stipend is available each year to the member who represents our chapter at
Chapter Council at National Conference in February (alternates between New York
'13 and Los Angeles '14.) (ex. Secretary will be open 2013-2014, Co-President
will be an open position 2013-2014).
Exhibitions (curate an
exhibition, find new venues, or help hang exhibitions) ex. Gender Games
at International House Philadelphia
Programming (plan or host a studio visit, workshop, performance
or speaker) ex. Rachel Lloyd "Girls Like Us" talk and book
signing at F&N Gallery
New Media and Design (film an
exhibition opening, photograph a studio tour, create postcards or brochures)
ex. Performances at "Plastic" at the Plastic Club were filmed and
photographed
Membership and Publicity
(write a press release, interview members for blog posts, welcome new members
on Facebook, send out membership cards, or attend networking events and give
out brochures)
*Don't forget to include your committee leadership on your resumes and
CVs. We appreciate your commitment to keeping our organization the active
and thriving group it is today!*
