Dear Fireflies, We are looking for a limited number of people to add to the Board of Directors (BOD) to fill positions vacated in the last year. The BOD is responsible for the financial and legal needs of Firefly Arts Collective Inc. The BOD is also responsible for planning the long term development and growth of the organization. Board members are expected to physically attend monthly meetings in the Boston area. To see the various positions on the board please read the bylaws: *http://fireflyartscollective.org/about-fac/firefly-bylaws/ http://fireflyartscollective.org/about-fac/firefly-bylaws/* Not all board members have a named position (ie: many are just members-at-large). If you joined the board, you would not be expected to take a named position for at least a few months. To apply, please fill out the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QWriNScgxN2CDCORQmiKIi52NSiiH44tUrf1_rHBWLk... After you fill out the form, the director of organizational development will reply within a week to confirm receipt, and may get back to you with some follow-up questions. We may invite you to attend a meeting to chat more about your responses and let you learn more about how we operate. Once we've had a chance to review all responses the Board will discuss and decide if we wish to add additional members. The Firefly Board of Directors is relatively small to keep discussion and consensus-based decision making practical. Any candidates who we are unable to invite to join the Board will be kept on file to consider as future vacancies arise, and we will also send out this request for expression of interest on a yearly basis. We're very excited to get new participants involved with the Firefly Board. Beyond the yearly Firefly camping event we are working on expanding the year-round activities of Firefly Arts Collective. Firefly continues to collaborate with Somerville Open Studios and Figment Boston to bring more community art to our cities, and we are working to have a year-round gallery space available for displays and classes. We look forward to hearing from motivated participants with the time and energy to help expand and organize our community! <3, The Firefly BoD
