    Get to know great people, feel good about volunteering, and support women like you in the industry.

    We need a Webmaster; someone to handle both the front and back ends of our website.

    We use Wild Apricot as our content manager, which incorporates the member database, online store, calendar and other functions.  As a vice chair in the Internal Communications Committee you’ll work closely with other committees to establish the best marketing for us and content for our members.   The ideal candidate will be interested in web development and be comfortable learning a basic Content Management system.   HTML and CSS a plus.   Your people skills will come in handy as you gather content from a busy board.  Your attention to detail is essential as you proofread the content and links.
    This is an appointed opportunity, and although a non-voting position, it's an excellent entry onto the Board of Women in Film Chicago.
    Send a brief bio and statement of interest to info@wifchicago.org

     

    WIFC also has a new vice chair position to announce; Channel Organizer! 

    As an organization representing screen-based media, we are ready to have our own online channel.  We need someone in the Internal Communications Committee to spearhead and manage an online outlet for video content.   Working with the board, you’ll determine the best outlet (YouTube, Vimeo, our website, a combination?), the content (member’s work, educational videos, psas, recordings of WIFC events ?) acquire, organize and upload that content.
    This vice chair position is an appointed opportunity, and although it's non-voting, makes an excellent entry onto the Board of Women in Film Chicago.
