Ducks Unlimited (DU) is a volunteer run organization made up of volunteer members. Members of the Kamloops Chapter attend several meetings a year where ideas are put forward and assessed for use in our fundraising efforts that support wetland and waterfowl conservation.
There are about 12 active members in the chapter that hold the responsible positions of Treasurer, Ticket Control, Arrangements, Soliciting and Chairperson. This volunteer opportunity is looking for someone to become Assistant to the Chairman. This position would work with the chairman and be prepared to take over if the person was unable to fulfill their duties.
Becoming Assistant to the Chairman is perfect for someone who:
Works well with others, recognizing their strengths and weaknesses
Is comfortable delegating responsibilities
Is aware of what DU does outside of the fundraising part (or willing to be trained)
Is prepared to assist other chapter members in their duties
Has strong organizational and communication skills
Can commit to attending meetings and major fundraising events
Some training is available, but experience is a benefit.
The Assistant to the Chairman would take part in chapter activities such as:
Chairing meetings
Communicating with other members via telephone or email to be sure commitments are being met
Assisting with set-up during the day of fundraising events
Recognizing the work of chapter members in private and public ways
