BOARD POSITION AVAILABLE – VP of FUNDRAISING
There is still a position that needs filling for this year’s booster board. Give the position a look below and reach out to Kristy Reiver or Amy Kingry at president@roswellband.com if you feel you can fill this need for the band.
VP of FUNDRAISING:
Fundraising is critical to our band program. Fulton County Schools funds only about 30% of our program each year. Most of the funds we need to support additional class instruction, resources for marching band, indoor percussion, and guard are funded by fees and donations received through our fundraising efforts. We need 1 or 2 parents who can take the lead on overseeing and growing these events. This is a position that can largely be managed from home but will require an hour or two each week to ensure success.
This board position would allow you to participate in the larger board voting and decision-making process and help drive the vision of the program as it continues to grow.
