Communications Committee Staff – Posting Specialist: The Communications Committee is the central information distributing arm of the OTW, responsible for the distribution of information internally to OTW personnel and externally to the general public, the media, fans, and other fannish organizations. Communications is also typically the first point of contact for someone interested in or wanting help from OTW, and serves all of the organization’s committees and projects.
The Posting Specialist is responsible for scheduling and overseeing the posting of content to the OTW’s main website as well as content that is cross-posted from the main blog to the Archive of Our Own.
Applications are due 7 September 2016
Strategic Planning Committee Staff: The Strategic Planning Committee is recruiting for new staff members! We are a close-knit and collaborative committee of people who are tasked with researching, developing, and supporting the implementation of the strategic plan. We are looking for organized people well-versed in problem-solving, survey design, and survey implementation with knowledge of or a background in nonprofit governance. A strong background in research and informational interviewing is a plus, but not a requirement. We welcome all perspectives and are actively interested in people with diverse views on fandom and the OTW!
