Tricentennial committee seeks three members with marketing, event-planning or fundraising skills
Summary
The committee said it has three vacancies and asked current members to recruit people with marketing, social-media, fundraising or event-planning experience; a new member, Keith Hackley, was welcomed at the July 16 meeting.
The Tricentennial Committee told members on July 16 that it has three open seats and is seeking new volunteers with marketing, social-media, fundraising or event-planning skills. Committee members said they prefer recruits who can fill specific operational needs—social media and online outreach, fundraising and event logistics—rather than general volunteers without those skills.
The committee welcomed a new member, Keith Hackley, at the start of the meeting. Members asked current volunteers to target candidates in their networks who can fill the stated skill gaps. Several members suggested recruiting younger volunteers or students to manage digital outreach and social media channels.
Members discussed how to assign incoming volunteers to subcommittees (parade, fundraising, historic events, oral history) and emphasized matching recruits to a defined role so volunteers add capacity rather than create coordination overhead. The committee did not change membership rules at the July 16 meeting but asked members to report potential recruits at the August meeting; the committee also noted it will make outreach posts and contact lists available to help identify candidates.
