16 Dec AVS Executive Board Nominations Due Feb 15
The Nominations Committee of the AVS Executive Board seeks nominations for four (4) Member-at-Large positions commencing July 1, 2025. Member-at-Large terms are three years (July 1, 2025-July 1, 2028). Any AVS member in good standing who is a U. S. citizen and/or U. S. resident is eligible to be nominated.
Nominees should be highly motivated and prepared for significant service assignments and committee work to further the aims and programs of the society. Committees meet monthly and the full board meets quarterly, and board members are expected to commit to accomplishing concrete goals and objectives that serve the mission of the AVS.
The AVS implements objectives toward increasing equity and inclusion in the field, informing the following goal areas of:
- fundraising and development
- marketing, advertising and vendor relations
- community development
- expanding educational offerings for violists of all levels and interests
In keeping with our commitment to serve a diverse constituency of violists and viola enthusiasts, the AVS especially encourages nominations from groups currently underrepresented within its membership, including by race, gender identity, and career focus (including pre-college, K-12, and Suzuki educators, orchestral violists, nonprofessional violists, and others). Nominations of individuals with expertise in development, finance, social media/web development (especially WordPress), and event organization (such as festivals and workshops) are strongly encouraged.
AVS members are encouraged to send recommendations for nominees (self-nominations are allowed), and all nominees must be current AVS members. Non-AVS members are encouraged to join or renew their memberships to be eligible to participate in the process.
