Being on committee is your chance to shape Geoids’overall strategy, which involves deciding our programme of shows, socials and workshops; developing marketing strategies; fulfilling our charitable remit; and supporting the logistics of staging a show. Committee meetings generally take place at someone’s office or house and are normally held on a monthly basis, although there are additional meetings around the time of shows if needed.
If you would like more information about serving as a committee member, current members would be happy to discuss the role and how you can help contribute to the success of the society.
Best wishes,
The Geoids Committee
