CAP's NEW BOARD OF 2007-2008 ARE NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING POSITIONS:

Literary and Artistic Advisor
Production Coordinators (2 positions)
Webmaster
(Job descriptions follow below.)

These positions are crucial to the board and require dedicated individuals, and specialized skills (i.e. ARTISTIC VISION, TECHNICAL PROWESS, and FLUENCY IN COMPUTER TECHNO-BABBLE). This is why these positions are appointed as opposed to elected. The new board will be choosing candidates who can fulfill these duties, and work well on a team. If chosen, you will be initiated into our secret society of superhero supervisors, so show us your absolute best! We will be doing background checks. Bribery is encouraged, though not required.

*NOTE: YOU MAY APPLY FOR ANY OR ALL OF THE POSITIONS.*

Please send your applications to Emma Waldron, secretary-in-training(emma.waldron@collegeaveplayers.com) - with the position you are applying for in the subject line (i.e. "Webmaster Application") - and include the following:

* Which position you are applying for
* Your name, year, e-mail address, and phone number
* Why you want the position, why you think you're qualified for it, and what you would do with it/ideas you have for it
* Your experience with CAP (such as being in shows, board/committee involvement, being a devoted fan and coming to see every show, stalking someone in CAP)
* Past theatrical experience, and/or experience related to the position you're applying for ( e.g. theatrical resume, website designs)
* Your scheduling availability next year, including other organizations you are involved in, study abroad plans, etc.
* Anything else that you think we should know when considering you for the position

Applications are DUE by THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 30 at MIDNIGHT! (No exceptions - we're on a tight deadline!) If chosen, please be available to attend your first board meeting on Sunday at 8:30pm. Decisions will be mailed out no later than Sunday morning.

Feel free to email Emma with any questions.
Best of luck!
