YRCC chorister, have you considered joining the executive/board? We meet infrequently but also communicate via email and in person at choir. When we meet, it's always a fun and positive experience with wine and snacks and great conversation.
The PR position is open, and since it's been shared by the rest of us and now Robin (contacting seniors' homes), the responsibilities and tasks are flexible. You can bring your gifts and skills to us and we'll work with you.
Basically, PR is keeping us connected to the community around us. The stuff that used to be done by a public and media relations person would have been contacting and booking venues for performances (and keeping track of them, details, contacts...) advertising (online and print media), and creating posters and programs and tickets for our concerts.
Our advertising has been kept low-key for several years because we had a long waiting list for quite some time. And, we were happy to have only limited extra performances, outside of our 2 regular concerts. Our social media presence is primarily for the choristers.
Lauren, Jane, and Robin and I are taking care of the all of that, but if we had a PR person, you could take over some or all of those tasks if you like.
Ideally you would be a creative person with an interest in communications, social media, graphic design, and love the choir and singing with us. If you don't want to be a member of the board, that's okay, but we'd love to have a new friend at our meetings.
I would love to see someone coordinate photography and videography at our performances. We had a member's family take videos of us at concerts for several years, but not for the past decade. Photos are kind of random. Whenever someone shares them, we post them.
Photos and videos could be used on our website and I would love it if someone took over our Facebook page, and maybe added some other social media spaces for us. I'll keep my blog, but you could post on the website, a blog or vlog could be a cool addition. Our website will soon be getting a make-over, bringing it up-to-date for our current needs. You could help with that, and help with keeping it up. We use a website host that has support, and our website re-design will include some support as well. Whatever you know will help, and you will have opportunities to learn.
Let me know if you have time and interest in doing any of these things, and especially if you feel called to take on the PR position on the executive.
