The format for the meeting will be...presentations by different Resume "Experts"..the last half hour I would like the group to separate into smaller groups and meet with an individual "expert" for more specific help.

Depending on how many experts I have...I have leads on a couple more...this can work...if it turns out that it is only my original volunteer then it will be presentation only.

Our board is comprised of women interested enough to attend and help out - simple as that. Our meetings are 4-6 times a year, always fun, and very laid back. Don't want to be on the board? Come and help us discuss fundraising and events. What do you want Herdomain to be? Let us know!!!

Board positions we need, and I may send another round later on:

A Secretary - A minute taker - must be able to attend 75% of monthly meetings so they can take minutes, which our webdiva will post on our site. You'll also help come up with meeting ideas, and help guide our future directions!

A Treasurer - Handle our finances! We'll be incorporated very soon, and we'll need someone to get us a bank account, handle donations, that sort of thing. Fundraising is handled by the board together, so this is mainly just handling the money itself.
