WCG is looking for new Board Members to help share responsibilities in the running of the organization. Would you, or someone you know, like to volunteer with us? We have upcoming events and additional events in mind that could use support and active participation.

Email wcg@washingtonconservationguild or president@washingtonconservationguild.org.

DEAI (Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion) Action Committee Member: Foster a welcoming organizational culture by guiding the WCG and the larger conservation community towards becoming more inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible. Develop short and long term goals for WCG and maintain an accountability model to ensure sustainability of IDEA Actions.

Logistics Coordinator: Help spend WCG’s money on delicious refreshments! Work with a team member to facilitate the Happy Hour Receptions before the monthly meetings. Coordinate with Meeting Directors regarding food and drink, supplies, facility details, and set-up/clean up. This is a chance to get away from your computer for a couple hours each month. This is a chance to share your creative cuisine and entertaining skills with your colleagues.

Events Coordinator: Organize conservation related workshops and events for WCG members. A self-motivated volunteer works closely with the President to find local conservators and other arts sector professionals willing to partner with us to create hands-on workshops. Organize other special events, such as group visits to cultural heritage sites. Write event announcements, handle the RSVP lists, and serve as a WCG representative at the events. Are you interested in learning more about private practice? Interested in seeing a new exhibit? This is your chance to organize a workshop or tour, so that you (and your colleagues) can!

Social Media Team Member (Facebook): Share information to WCG’s social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. As part of a three-person team, develop posts covering topics of interest, regional job opportunities, internships, events, allied partner announcements, and WCG announcements. Help plan and coordinate campaigns to reach our members and interested public regarding WCG news and upcoming events. Come share your creativity, leadership skills, and social media prowess with us!
