Call for MCG Committee members and 2014 AGM notice
Dear MCG community,
The 2014 MCG Annual General Meeting will be held during UKMW14 on November
7, 2014, at the Natural History Museum. The agenda for the 2014 AGM is now
available online
<http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/2014/10/05/notice-2014-mcg-annual-general-meeting/>.
This year we will be asking members to ratify a constitutional change and
discuss incorporation as an Association Charitable Incorporated
Organisation (CIO).
Call for Committee nominations
The Museums Computer Group is an independent not-for-profit organisation.
The MCG Committee consists of nine members working across operational areas
including admin and membership support, events, communications and special
projects, and an Executive group consisting of a Chair, Secretary and
Treasurer. The MCG's goal is to help our members and the wider cultural
heritage sector by connecting, supporting and inspiring people involved
with museum technologies. We do this through our events, this discussion
list and social media, and through partnerships with other organisations.
Joining the MCG Committee is a great way to support your peers and help the
sector. It’s also an opportunity to meet people, gain valuable skills and
experience, and enhance your CV.
This year we are seeking candidates for four vacancies on the Committee.
One of these roles, Treasurer, is part of the Executive and works closely
with the Chair and Secretary. The other areas of responsibility we're
recruiting for include:
Administration and Membership support - working closely with the Chair,
Secretary and Treasurer, you'll get an overview of all the Committee's work.
Marketing - working with the Events and Communications teams, you'll help
plan and run the marketing and outreach campaigns for our events and other
work.
Event organisation - ideal for someone who wants to take the lead as event
manager, or learn the ropes by helping put on our next events.
Sponsorship and fundraising - liaise with past and potential sponsors, work
with the Events team to manage our sponsorship offers or establish
partnerships.
We'd love to see nominations from people with ideas and energy. There's
more information on volunteering for the Committee and a summary of the
roles at
http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/about/volunteering-as-an-committee-member/.
In each role you'd be working with established committee members, with a
wealth of existing material and experience to draw upon. If you have any
questions about committee work or nominations, please contact the Chair
<[log in to unmask]>, Mia Ridge.
Nominations should be sent to [log in to unmask] by
midday on Thursday, November 6, 2014. Please include your contact details,
an indication of which role you're interested in, and a brief biography
(for previous examples, check out the current Committee bios at
http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/about/mcg-committee/). Self-nominations
are welcome.
Many thanks
Julie Reynolds
Secretary, Museums Computer Group
