ARTS The ARTS mission is to generate public awareness and promote growth and acceptance of contemporary Square, Round and Traditional Folk Dance by encouraging and assisting a coalition of allied dance groups. The ARTS will provide leadership and resources necessary to create an achievable marketing program. The ARTS will encourage, promote and support healthy lifestyles through dance programs and events that provide fun and effective exercise for both mind and body, all within a unique system of social interaction. Additional information is available on the ARTS web site: www.arts-dance.org The ARTS announces the search for a volunteer to fill the position of Assistant Executive Director. The following is the description of this position: "This position would be filled by a volunteer who would serve at the pleasure of the Board directly under the Executive Director and would provide support and services to the organization as directed by the Executive Director.” Candidates do not have to be an ARTS Board Member nor closely involved with the operation of the organization. However, it is highly recommended that candidates be actively involved with our dance activity. The primary function of this person would be to learn the duties and responsibilities of the Executive Director, a paid position. The goal is to find a person who will assume the position of Executive Director, at some future date. Candidates should be very familiar with the dance activity. A strong familiarity with general office procedures, including electronic mail procedures, would be a definite plus. Initial time commitment is expected to be less than 15 hours/month. If you have questions or concerns or if you are interested, please contact:
