Be a part of GA 2009 and 2010!
Friday, June 27th, 2008Are you interested in being a part of General Assembly’s Young Adult Caucus 2009 and 2010 but were not able to join us in Ft. Lauderdale? Read more on how to run in absentia.
We have two open positions for GA Young Adult Caucus. These are both two year terms to begin July 1st, 2008 and run through the end of GA 2010.
GA YAC Liaison - Currently this is the fifth member of the C*UUYAN Steering Committee, although the role of the Steering Committee and CUUYAN is in review. However, the role of Liaison will continue regardless of the path of C*UUYAN. Please note that this position is not guaranteed funding for travel, registration, or housing, but there are multiple ways to fund ones GA attendance. The Liaison will be responsible for working with the GAPC Liaison, helping with caucus planning, and providing information to the YAC and other GA organizations about what the Steering Committee has been doing for the year before GA.
Steering Committee roles for the next year: Creating and maintaining communication with various organizations including but not limited to the new task forces and the Young Adult Ministries office, making decisions about the budget and establishing a taxpayer ID status, reviewing and possibly creating C*UUYAN policy, overseeing Liaisons to other organizations (including the Board of Trustees), and planning ConCentric, the C*UUYAN business meeting. Historically the Steering Committee has had two-in person meetings, one in Fall and one in the Spring, but this may change. The Liaison is required to attend GA.
GA YAC Co-Facilitator - responsible for planning the YAC sessions and the two workshops provided to us, overseeing the budget, making decisions about staff size and functions, and working with various groups to increase the YA presence within the larger GA body. Depending on budget, time, and resources, one of the Co-Facilitators may be expected to attend one of the GAPC meetings, most likely in the Fall.
All candidates must have previously attended GA as a Young Adult and must submit their bio to futureofcuuyan@gmail.com by Sunday, June 29, 12:00 pm, Eastern Time. Bios may include identities claimed, skill sets you have, background with UUism, interest in the position and what you would bring to the team.
