I felt so welcome and valued every time I showed up, and I felt like figuring out logistics didn't seem to ruffle anyone's feathers. You were always ready to help me figure out timing, location, etc. with a jolly smile and good humor" / sound like you’d fit in? Operations Director applications due May 16

ASK: teleconference speaker!

We’re very used to being low-tech on the ice — but we have meetings year-round, and sometimes board members cannot attend in person. It would be SO HELPFUL to have a teleconference speaker. Got one laying around that you’re no longer using? Send us a DM or email info@artshantyprojects.org.

THANKS!
