If you love film, and have time and skills you are interested in using to help our community, let's talk about the possibilities. The Durham Region International Film Festival (DRIFF) is about to prepare for a celebratory 10th season. We are seeking two new board members to round out our team. No previous board experience is required, but we are in need of volunteers with skills to contribute to one of three committees, as part of their board duties.

On which committee would your skills and interests fit most comfortably?

Sponsorship, Finance and Partnerships (SPF committee)? Key interests/skills: work with the team to help find and nurture funding sources and community partnerships.

Audience, Events and Marketing (AEM committee)? Related interests/skills examples: graphic design, marketing, event planning, data collection,...

Programming and Education (PrE committee)? Related interests/skills examples: filmmaking, industry experience, film analysis/appreciation, high school media,...

We are a working board. If you are reliable, enjoy working with a team, and you have 4 or 5 hours a month to roll up your sleeves and volunteer your time to help us plan and manage events, and you feel you would be an asset on one of those three committees, we would love to hear from you!

Volunteers will be asked to assist with setup and take down tasks at our event venue as well as other assignments such as greeters, registration desk, programming and auditorium ushers.
