Dear Shareholders,

The Redlake Valley Community Benefit Society is looking for a volunteer Secretary to work with its board of directors to help run the organisation. Our present Secretary, Karen Limbrick, has been with us since we started out in 2011 and although she will remain an active member of the Society, is standing down as a Director and Secretary in order to pursue other interests. The role of Secretary is more than organising meetings and taking minutes. We are looking for someone with administration and IT skills who will ensure that the Society runs in accordance with its Rules. Over and above that the role is as diverse as someone might want to make it and could, for example, include communication with shareholders and partner organisations, fund-raising, event planning and improving our profile on social media. There would be plenty of support from the outgoing secretary and other board members to ease the new Secretary into the role. The Secretary does not have to be a shareholder so do please tell anyone you know who might be interested and you think would do a good job. It might suit someone who has recently retired or who has just moved to the area and wishes to get to know people. In the first instance ask them take a look at this website.

Anyone who is interested should get in touch with our Chairman, Mark Limbrick, to talk it through and maybe visit the quillets if they’ve not been there. Mark can be contacted on 01547 530002 or by email at redlakevalley@gmail.com
