Please be aware of the expectations we have of our Board of Directors. A Film Commission Director should:
- Be self-motivated and have the ability to recruit and lead other people in challenging projects.
- Be prepared to commit a minimum of 4 hours a month to Film Commission work plus attendance at monthly Board meetings, Membership Mixers, Special sponsorship and fundraising events and Monthly meetings of the committee they chair.
- Be free of serious commitments to other organizations that might lead to a conflict of interest.
