The Queen Anne Community Council is a volunteer organization of those who live, work, own property, or run businesses in Queen Anne. The council’s purpose is to advocate for the people of Queen Anne by listening, engaging and communicating within the community and beyond. The council is governed by a board of trustees elected by the community at large.
The council is looking to add to the leadership team at the board level and encourage you to submit your letter of interest to us at queenannecc@gmail.com no later than Aug. 18.
Please keep your submission to 1-2 pages. Tell us about your background/experience and how you can contribute to the mission of the Council. You must be at least 18 years old to be eligible, and you must live, work, or own a business or property in Queen Anne.
Applicants with a variety of interests and skills are sought. Board members should have good communication skills, be prepared to provide written reports as needed, and be prepared to collaborate on a variety of initiatives.
We especially need individuals with experience or skills in one or more of the following areas: promotions, writing and publishing; conducting surveys and data collection/management; strategic planning; website development and maintenance; fundraising; accounting.
In support of our interest in serving everyone in Queen Anne, we also encourage members of the business community to apply, plus those interested in any of the following: senior citizen issues, youth issues, matters of interest to renters and property owners, schools, parks, transportation, land use, public safety issues, and other aspects of life in our community.
The Council is an all-volunteer working board, and candidates should be willing to commit a minimum of 4-8 hours per month to council responsibilities. This includes about 2 hours for our monthly board meeting. Attendance at all board meetings is critical to allow the board to perform its duties. We also have 5 standing committees and a number of project groups and encourage your active participation in one or more of these efforts.
If you are interested in helping make Queen Anne an even better place to live, work, operate a business, own property, and have fun, consider participating as a member of the Queen Anne Community Council board.
