Teams
Professional growth as an artist takes more than just hours with a brush in your hand. Learning how exhibitions are put together, developing programs to share knowledge and discoveries with fellow artists and the newly interested are all part of making you a better artist.
Our Team approach to achieving our current and future DWS goals is vital to the success of our Society. As a participating member, you will choose the Team on which you would like to serve. Please note that each team has different staffing needs and sign up for any team is on a first come, first serve basis. We ask that you concentrate on one team rather than selecting more than one team. This will help to insure that you won’t have scheduling conflicts when more than one team is active at the same time. As a participating member you will now be responsible for, and in control of recording your service hours worked on behalf of DWS.
The form is simple and should be easy for you to fill in each time you work on your team. (click here for form) When you participate in DWS special events, you will receive credit for those hours as well. You are required to provide only 12 hours of service each year. Each time you work and gain service hours you will obtain a signature from your Team Leader. At the end of the year, you will submit your completed Volunteer Form at the time you renew your membership in December.
Forms are available at 2nd Tuesday Meetings and are also online as a PDF document you can download. Please note that team leaders are not required to document their hours since their duties will require more than 12 hours annually.
The designated teams are as follows: If you have any questions, please contact your Team Leader or Beth. at phone numbers listed below.
