Opportunities in the Alternet community and beyond

Vacancy: Alternet Management Board Secretary

Alternet is seeking a partner to join its Management Board in-kind in the position of Secretary.

Member institutes can nominate anyone they consider suitable for the job. The MB meets once a month virtually (unless there is a need for in-between meetings) and update and exchange with each other in between the monthly meetings. This is a great opportunity to be involved in the day-to-day management of Alternet.

Tasks of the secretary of the MB:

  • Draw up the MB agenda and send it to the members.
  • Ensure that the general meeting (once a month) is convened on time (planned, meeting invitations etc).
  • Take minutes during the meeting and draw up the report after the meeting. The secretary may ask the secretary of Alternet to do this, but in case of his/her absence this task is for the secretary of the MB.
  • Monitor the procedures and record action points.
  • Monitor the administration. This is also largely one of the treasurer’s tasks.
  • Monitor the registration with the Chamber of Commerce. For example, if there is a change in the address, the secretary must report this to the Chamber of Commerce etc.

The MB meets once a month virtually (unless there is a need for in-between meetings) and update and exchange with each other in between the monthly meetings.
