Hey students,
I am the treasurer of the American Council of Blind Students.
We am proud to announce that we are prepearing to appoint our Webmaster, Editor, and
Junior Representative positions for the next term. We are in transition now, as we
have voted for a constitutional amendment to make the editor and webmaster positions
be two year terms, alternating each year which position is appointed. In this transition,
we will be appointing a webmaster this September for a two year term and an editor
to do a one year term until we can get into sync. In addition, we will continue to
recruit a junior representative for a one year term.
Here is some important information about the three positions:
Webmaster: The webmaster is responsible for editing and revising our website. This
should be someone with some experience with html. You don't need to be a superstar
programmer, as we understand that this may be a learning experience for you. All
members of ACB Students are welcome for this position, which means it is open to students
and non-students, blind, partially sighted, and sighted people alike. This position
works in close contact with our fundraising and social networking groups as well.
Student Advocate Editor: This position is dedicated to editing our newsletter. We
publish a newsletter two to three times per year. This person does not need to be
a professional editor, although we appreciate writing experience. If you enjoy communications
and publications, consider this position. The editor works in close contact with
the President to ensure our newsletter becomes a great resource for our organization.
Junior Representative: This member of our board is under 18 and should be a student.
He or she expresses values and input from a younger prospective. This member is also
required to sit on at least one ACB Student committee. We suggest that this representative
participate in our membership committee, as we are looking to add a junior membership
subcommittee for recruitment purposes. While no specific qualifications are necessary
for this role, an attitude of excitement and an eagerness to learn are a must.
All of these positions are open to our various membership categories. If you are
not a member of ACB Students but would still like to apply, you are welcome to join
upon appointment. We can also discuss ways we can help cover these costs if needed.
Our general and sustaining membership costs $15 and our junior membership is $8.
Please apply for these positions via the links below. Applications are due by Monday,
August 8 at 12:00pm Eastern. We will be conducting interviews after these, information
for which can be found in the application.
