- Identify and on-board speakers for the Talks
- Manage the hire of venues, volunteer helpers and equipment for the Talks [currently St Peters church hall], and introduce the guest speaker
- Propose and manage other events, for example community fairs and conferences where The Society takes a stand.
- Become a member of The Shoreham Society Executive Committee.
Skills
The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator with excellent planning skills and a passion for making a difference. Experience of event management would be an advantage but training will be given, and you will be supported by a team of volunteers.
