SNAP is seeking enthusiastic and engaged community members to join our Board of Directors.<\/strong><\/p>\n At the beginning of 2020, SNAP moved into our new home in Queen Mary Park, joining a vibrant, established neighbourhood in the heart of amiskwac\u00eew\u00e2skahikan on Treaty 6 territory. While the last year has presented many challenges, the opportunity to slow down and look with intentionality, care, and consideration at SNAP\u2019s organizational structures has been invaluable. As an artist-run centre, diversity, equity, and inclusion have been core values spoken about at SNAP. We acknowledge that we have not upheld these values through the representation of Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour, 2SLGBTQIA+, disabled, low-income and working- class community members in our leadership and programming. We are committed to cultivating an organization and board that meaningfully reflects the diversity and agency of Edmonton\u2019s arts community. SNAP is dedicating significant time and resources to ongoing organizational transformation, including programming that supports and amplifies underrepresented groups, centring inclusivity and community-building in our strategic five-year plan, and dedicating space for IBPOC representation on SNAP\u2019s Board of Directors and staff.<\/p>\n Board directors are our community liaisons \u2014 building and nurturing connections with, and for, the communities our members live, work, and create in. Responsible for the organization\u2019s good governance, SNAP\u2019s Board of Directors champion our goals of artistic development, inclusion, and community-building in policies and procedures. Interested individuals should have an openness to thought, curiosity and tenacity to re-envision systems of accountability, accessibility, and equity. Volunteer work as a Board Director will require 5\u201315 hours a month over a two-year renewable term. Applicants with no prior board experience are very welcome.<\/p>\n We encourage inquiries from those who identify as members of underrepresented communities to apply. If you have a passion for printmaking and are interested in joining our board or know someone who would be a good candidate, we would love to connect with you! Applicants are welcome to express their interest in the media that best represents themselves. Interest can be sent to our current Board President, Andrew Benson at board@snapartists.com, or you can call our current Board Vice President, Chelsey Campbell at (780) 710-5953.<\/p>\n We recognize community members may face barriers when applying, if you require accommodations please contact us. We can\u2019t wait to connect with you!!<\/p>\n Read our current 5 year Strategic Plan<\/a><\/p>\n View the PDF: 2021 Open Call for Board Directors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open Call for SNAP Board Directors: SNAP is seeking enthusiastic and engaged community members to join our Board of Directors.
