A membership organization like NAMLE thrives with the participation of its members, so I’m happy to share two opportunities with you to get involved.
First, we’re currently seeking board members for a two-year term starting June 2013. If you are passionate about media literacy and have some board experience, get your application in by April 2. Learn more…
Second, we’re hiring our first Membership Coordinator (a part time position) so we can serve our members better.
Let your friends and colleagues know about these opportunities too. Have a great month!
Cheers,
Sherri Hope Culver
President, NAMLE
