Board Positions Available
We are seeking a member to serve as Treasurer on the GADD Board of Directors.
The Treasurer is responsible for financial oversight; assists with Strategic Planning and Budgeting, ensures taxes are submitted annually, and maintains financial accountability to the membership.
We're also seeking a Government Affairs Liaison. This position will serve as a member liaison to local government affairs to represent GADD's position, advocate for the building and design community, and share relevant information about the future of the industry in the greater Annapolis area.
While these are vital positions, the time commitment is minimal.
If you are interested in serving in either of these important roles, email denise@greaterannapolisdesigndistrict.com.
