Secretary of the Neighborhood Council

The function

The secretary is part of the board of the association. You are the connecting neighborhood resident for both the board, members and externals. You make connections, bring people and organizations into contact with each other. The municipality of Apeldoorn is of course an important stakeholder for our district council. You also play an important, coordinating role in that contact.

And within the district council you form the board together with the chairman, treasurer and general board members. We are currently looking for a treasurer in addition to a secretary.

The tasks

As secretary you fulfill a central and coordinating role in the board and the association. That sounds broad, but so are your tasks. To give some direction, we are thinking of the following tasks:

preparing, organizing and reporting board meetings and General Members Meetings,

· General secretariat matters, such as managing the mailbox (of course we have a digital mailbox, but also an offline version for regular mail), keeping the list of members up to date, drafting correspondence if necessary,

Monitoring procedures, for example sending (or having others send) invitations for the ALVs on time, or updating the Chamber of Commerce and UBO register,

· Coordination and editing in the preparation of the annual report,

· Taking actions together with fellow board members where necessary.

What district council De Naald asks

Actually not much! Well come on, a little bit of your time. Because as a secretary you are the spider in the web before, during and after meetings. But you also have a role outside the board and member meetings. For example, monitor the mailbox. Because it just keeps going.

And of course we ask for some enthusiasm to dedicate yourself to your beautiful residential area (and to make it even more beautiful together with the board and residents).

We'll figure it out in terms of content. Of course it helps if you have some experience with administrative tasks or a secretarial position. Accurately tackling your tasks and good writing skills also help to fill this board position. But if you are unsure about any of the aspects mentioned…don't say no right away. Contact us and we will discuss the possibilities.

What you get in return

· valuable work that matters, and that for your own neighbourhood

· cooperation in an enthusiastic board with an open atmosphere

· a great opportunity to expand your network
