At our online AGM on Sunday, April 25th at 2:00 pm, we will be holding an election for two positions on the Dawson City Music Festival Association (DCMF) Board of Directors!

DCMF is a non-profit charitable organization established in 1979, after a summer barbecue full of music and dancing in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. Our namesake festival has grown into one of the most sought-after performance opportunities in the country for up-and-coming artists, and the Association is recognized as a one-of-a-kind celebration of Dawson's spirit, hospitality, volunteerism, and community life. The Festival, our year-round activities, and the organization as a whole are a celebration of art, community, friendship and caring. We strive to infuse those values into all that we do.

We have two positions on our Board of Directors to fill. We are looking for committed, compassionate, and progressive community members with fresh ideas to help govern effectively, advance the organization, meet the community's needs, and have fun while doing it!

The DCMF Board operates using a hybrid model consisting of operational, governance, advisory, and working styles. Currently, the DCMF Board meets bi-weekly for one hour, though we are examining the frequency of meetings. We are looking for individuals who have sufficient time to fulfill the requirements of their position, enthusiasm for the organization, and a willingness to ask questions. Other skills/experience/assets include human resources management, policy development, project management, strategic planning, grant writing, fundraising, communications, public relations, and risk management. Joining the DCMF Board of Directors is a fantastic opportunity for people living in Dawson City to play a vital role in supporting staff, artists, and community members and to be a part of a progressive music organization.

Please fill out this brief form if you are interested in joining the team! Nominations close on Thursday, April 22nd, at 11:59 pm PST. For full AGM details, visit dcmf.com/agm-board-elections-bylaw-meeting. If you have any questions, please contact our Executive Director, Andrea, at info@dcmf.com.
