This position has been recently filled! But we would still LOVE to hear from you. Perhaps there is a way we can work together!
This would be a great opportunity for a student or recent graduate to build relationships with agency professionals, as we have 13 members on our board. Currently, some of the agencies represented on our board are Basis, Badder Rutter, Entercom, Mention Marketing, and more.
Ideally, we’d love to invite a student who is passionate about design, social media, and marketing. Someone who is up to the challenge to be a leader or take an active role in communicating our events to students, someone who is confident enough to give their point of view in our board meetings as we discuss opportunities, not only for our business peers but our student community as well. We want to offer a motivated design, marketing, or communications student a unique opportunity to connect with and contribute to a professional group in their local town.
The time commitment would be 1 meeting a month, approximately 1 hour. The time outside of the meeting would be up to the student liaison. In meetings, the student could contribute to conversations, offering up his/her/their ideas and opinions, as well as report on anything they are working on. Since this is a new role, we’d be open to the student to mold this new board seat position.
Here are some of the responsibilities of our Student Liason:
- Contribute to the conversations; all input is welcomed and valid
- Offer a student perspective to our board, whether it involves input to our events, cost of student membership, marketing to students (how do we do this?), authoring blog posts, or other content (i.e. the student membership age)
- Work with our membership director and our communications pod to discuss student-related opportunities
- Design opportunities should the student wish to do so
- Social media content creation, should the student wish to do so
- Blog Posts, should the student wish to do so
The student position would not require a large time commitment outside of the board meetings and their school work. The student will not be required to write social media content or create designs unless they have the time and willingness to do so. Any content creation or design work would be opportunities to create portfolio pieces but are in no way required of the student since this is not a paid position.
The student would work closely with the 414digital Board Vice President and their school professor who may be in charge of student internships, especially if the student receives credit for this opportunity.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, we’d love to hear from you!
