Secretary

The Secretary once needed to have nice legs and a submissive personality. Now you can be anything you want! Just take notes at board meeting and afterward promulgate them.

Andrew McAleavey, Finlandia 2005:
Requires:
Attendance at Board Meeting: usually 1 hour, give or take 1 hour.
Taking notes at Board Meeting.
Sending notes from the Meeting to the bachers listserv, in such a form which makes it interesting, informative and fun to read.
Reminding Corporation members (through Bachers listserv) of upcoming events, deadlines, and meetings.
Facilitating Corporation Meetings in conjunction with the BACH Coordinator.

It takes about 2 hours per week, sometimes more depending on how intricate my emails are. It provides an interesting window on co-op life, as the secretary is often among the best-informed members of the community regarding events and policies. The fun part is writing the meeting notes -- making them entertaining is my favorite part of Thursday nights.

I like my job,
love to everyone who wants it.
