A minutes secretary is currently needed by the board of trustees of the Weardale museum. The volunteer will provide support to the board by arranging meetings, taking minutes, writing up and circulating them.
Arranging meetings will involve coordinating diaries, sending out of agenda and relevant papers. The coordinator will have the same responsibilities for the AGM.
At present, meetings are held via zoom but it is expected that face to face meetings will start later this year.
Meetings are usually held monthly, on a weekday evening. The secretary will be responsible for the administration in setting up meetings, will attend to take minutes and will then formulate these and circulate them to the trustees.
In addition they will organise the AGM which will include invitations to a wider group of volunteers and members of the public.
Experience of word processing is essential.
Use of spreadsheets id desirable. As is the use of email.
Experience of minute taking is desirable.
Must have good organisational skills and the ability to work within a group of volunteers.
