Weekly Worker - Administrative Assistant to Board

The Board of Directors is seeking a dedicated, enthusiastic member to work as Administrative Assistant to the Board. We are looking for someone who can work an average of four hours per week, who may prefer a flexible schedule and work at home. A personal computer and e-mail account are essential. This will be a weekly worker position, qualifying for a 26% discount. The Administrative Assistant will report to the Secretary of the Board.

Duties of the position will include:

o Maintaining Board administrative files (documents, reports, minutes, forms) both in hard copy and on the computer. Preparing copies as needed.
o Coordinating with Board secretary and committee liaisons to post meeting dates, agendas and reports or minutes.
o Developing and maintaining a resource file of local meeting sites, facilitators, minutes takers, progressive or coop oriented trainers, and other resources. Making arrangements to use these resources as determined by the Board.
o Researching Board minutes and membership meeting minutes for policy decisions from November 1998 to the present, in order to update the HWFC Policy Index. Providing information to the Board on these policies as needed.
o Following up with Board members on specific items for which they are responsible (e.g., reminding members of committee reports due, articles to be written in the Scoop). 
o Other clerical tasks as requested by the Secretary.

This is an opportunity for those who cannot work in the store but want to do something for their Coop. As the job is evolving, we welcome inquiries from working and non-working members who have administrative experience or dedication to coop goals. Attendance at monthly Board meetings may be required. Although work hours are flexible, attention to deadlines will be important.

It is anticipated that more than one weekly worker may be required. If only part of the duties are of interest to you, please do not hesitate to inquire. For more information contact Virginia McEwen at 463-8904 or via e-mail: mginny1@nycap.rr.com .
