Why Serve and What’s Expected?

This is a great opportunity for individuals who value writing and advancing the literary arts in Ames, Story County and Central Iowa.

Board member tasks include:

· Ensure there are necessary resources to meet the organization’s mission

· Evaluate services and programs

· Work to grow and diversify the organization’s audience

Board members are asked to serve on board committees. The Board meets ~three times per year, in person and via Zoom as needed. In support of the charitable nature of the organization, board members are asked to make an annual financial contribution of any amount that is meaningful to them.

Board members serve no less than one three-year term and no more than three consecutive three-year terms.
