Commitee Information
There are many benefits to becoming a board member at Women in Film. Representing our great organization is an honour in itself, and will give you an added appreciation of our role in the film community. Our board members create meaningful connections with members and filmmakers in our community. They have increased visibility in the community and benefit immensely from the experience of running a committee.Our board is a working board, where each member has responsibilities for an event or a committee. Some events occur annually, and some occur monthly. The time commitment required from each board member is dependent on the event that is chaired. Members can also serve on the Executive Committee as President, Vice-President, Treasurer or Secretary. These positions require additional meetings and time commitment.
