Thanks for a great 2011/12...
...now the IVG Needs You!
After our Monthly Meeting last Friday we were hoping to be able to announce the new IVG Board line-up for the coming 2012/2013 period. Sadly however, we were not able to elect a full boardfrom the volunteers who attended the meeting. The majority of this year's board are leaving Japan very soon, so this means that we urgently need new volunteers to step forward.
Volunteering on the IVG Board is a lot of fun and a great way to use your free time in Japan productively. It can help build up your skills and add substance to your resume/CV! You can commit as much of your time as you have available, but even giving up 1-2 hours of your week can make a real difference. By volunteering now, you will be in a great position to shape the activities and direction of the IVG. If you're even half tempted then please get in touch, come along to one of our events, and get yourself involved. We need you! The IVG has achieved a lot over the past few years and it would be a great shame to see what we have established go to waste. Sadly there is a real risk of that happening unless people step up and volunteer. If you enjoy coming to our IVG events, then now is the time to take action to make sure that they can continue! |

Awareness Coordinator
Our programme of regular Awareness Workshops form a core part of the IVG's activities and need someone responsible to oversee them. Booking the rooms, finding facilitators and helping people develop their workshops are all key parts of the role.
Being Awareness Coordinator puts you at the heart of the IVG and is a great opportunity to improve your presentation and informal educational skills, as well as giving you the chance to network with outside organisations. |
Website Coordinator
The IVG currently has 3 websites: ivgjapan.orgtokyo-yamathon.com sea-to-summit.org We also have the Facebook group and Twitter account. Are you the person with skills and know-how to keep an eye on them? Being Website Coordinator allows you to gain experience in web development and in using social network sites professionally - skills which are very in demand these days! |
Something Different?
Do you have other skills that you could contribute to the IVG Board? Everyone has different talents to bring to the party. Every IVG Board is different and has changed in form from year to year. There is plenty of scope to divide up tasks and responsibilities according to your preferences. The most important qualities you must have are drive and commitment! |
