The Mount Pleasant Community Association is a non-profit group run by volunteers – they are our backbone. We rely on residents of our community to come forward, offer assistance and take part in making Mount Pleasant one of the greatest places to live in Calgary.
The following volunteer positions have come up and we need our resident to come forward and help out!
Membership and Volunteer Director (One person – Board Position)
We are looking for someone who will help us find ways in which to recruit, orient, welcome and show appreciation to our volunteers. This role also manages memberships through our membership software and ensures business membership benefits are received by local businesses via coordination with the Communications Director. This role is a Board position and will require attendance at monthly meetings (Board breaks over the summer) and someone willing to take the initiative to move these items forward.
Casino Coordinator (One Person – Reports to the Board Treasurer)
This role works with a hired professional Casino Consultant to manage the paperwork to organize the Casino. The Casino Coordinator also supports any tasks required to coordinate the Casino, creates a volunteer sign up (normally we use a web-based service like VolunteerSignUp.org or similar) and works with the Communications Director to recruit volunteers. Our next Casino is anticipated in the Winter of 2022.
