The Friends of Leigh Square Society is seeking new board members at its upcoming annual general meeting later this month.
Yvonne Chui, arts and culture coordinator at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village, said residents with a passion for culture and creating a vibrant community should put their names forward.
The Friends of Leigh Square Society is a non-profit community organization that works with the city of Port Coquitlam to facilitate the growth of artistic and cultural expression in the municipality. It also plays a role in shaping the programs offered at Leigh Square.
Chui added that candidates should live, work or play in Port Coquitlam and have professional skills to offer such as marketing, bookkeeping, writing or teaching.
Event planning and an interest in art, culture and heritage is also important.
New board members will serve for a two-year term that begin April 1, 2012 and end March 31, 2014.
Self-nominations, consenting nominations and suggestions are welcome. Nomination forms are available for download at www.portcoquitlam.ca/leighsquare and are due March 16, 2012. Forms should be emailed to [email protected].
