Fwd: [washingtondc-announce] Burning Man Regional Contact Needed - Step Up, Washington DC Burners!

Hi,

This is Iris from the Burning Man Regional Network team. I hope that this email finds you well as Burning Man approaches!

As some of you may know, Patty Simonton will be stepping down from the Washington, DC Regional Contact Team. My team has the difficult task ahead of finding an amazing, passionate and creative Burner to step into her shoes and continue her work as a community facilitator.

Regional Contacts (RCs) volunteer year-round to empower and nurture community initiatives and facilitate communication with the global Burning Man Regional Network and between their various community groups. Could this be YOU?

Step up! For more information about the Regional Contact role and the Network, visit the Burningman.org website:

• About the Regional Network

• Regional Contact Selection Process

• Regional Leadership Criteria

Bonus points if you have experiences and skills in some of the below areas in particular:

• Project management and coordination

• Communications and social media savvy

• Succession planning and implementation

• Conflict resolution

• Crisis communications support

• Meeting facilitation in particular for Town Halls

• Fundraising

If you'd like to apply to join the Washington, DC Regional Contact team, please email your self-nomination letter to regional-network at burningman.org with "Washington, DC" in the subject line by September 5, midnight Pacific. After our three week window to self-nominate closes, we'll send out a Community Feedback survey to gather your input and experiences with candidates.

My team is looking forward to hearing from you. Bring it!

Sending you hugs from Burning Man Headquarters,

Iris and the Burning Man Regional Network team
