Dear Q:alliance Member,

Our AGM is coming up on the 3^rd of June 2011, and we would like to invite you to consider becoming a member of our management team. This is more commonly known as a ‘trustee’ position.

In addition to the seven trustees who will be seeking re-election at the AGM, there is room for at least one more Ordinary Member to join the management team.

The team meets on average once a month, but meetings may be more frequent if, for example, Q:alliance was developing a new project.

If you want to become more involved in the actions of Q:alliance through joining the team, please submit a short biography of your experience and knowledge of such a management to David Ennis (that’s me). E-mail it to: communications {at} qalliance.org(.)uk

The deadline for submissions will be 1pm on Thursday the 2^nd of June 2011.

In terms of what would benefit us most at the present time, it would be good for us to have a Lesbian representative on the management team. If you have a desire to develop Lesbian interests in Milton Keynes, please do put your name forward.

If you would like more information about trustee positions before you submit an entry, please feel free to e-mail me.

Kind Regards,

David Ennis
Community Engagement Officer
