Needed: One Board Member

Plans are coming along for the new Spring Shadows Art Center. This is a new non-profit organization dedicated to bring an art space to the Spring Branch area and the Spring Shadows neighborhood. I started this initiative in view of a place where the community can come together to create. I believe that every neighborhood, small town or big city, should have an art center. This is a space where affordable art classes and workshops, art shows, musical shows, studios, etc. can be held, as well as parties and meetings for the people of the community and also for people interested in coming to our community from the Greater Houston Area and beyond. So far we have found a location, met with the realtor, had an inspection by a general contractor and have had two local people, Roy Salazar and Melissa Williams join our team as board members. We need one more board member  to apply for our 501c3. The duties of a board member begin with fundraising, promotion, and eventually hiring staff. The board member must be willing to make a one year commitment to work as a volunteer board member for the period of one year from the time the 501c3 papers are filed. We will have another organizational meeting as soon as this board member is found. Please contact me, Suzanne Buckland at confident_realm@yahoo.com for a copy of the preliminary business plan if you are interested.
