CHAIRS

Chairs are an integral part of The Stand.  Chairs report to their respective Overall, manage captains and committee members, and attend External or Internal meetings depending on their team.  Each team requiring chairs will have their own separate application.

Marketing Chair Descriptions:

• Social Media:There are two open chair positions available to manage our social media accounts. These two people will work together to emulate the voice of The Stand through our current five accounts- Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and our Tumblr page. Both chairs should have experience managing the social media accounts for a brand and/or business. They should also be well versed in analytics and should have a strong understanding of each platform and its uses.
  • Social Media Chair: responsible for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and online advertisement campaigns. Will supervise social media captains who will help manage certain social media outlets.
• Recruitment: There are two open chair positions available to manage our recruitment and awareness efforts for The Stand. Both chairs should have experience with marketing events. They should be very outgoing, willing to interact with the public and unafraid of building relationships from scratch.
  • Recruitment Chair: responsible for the recruitment of volunteers for all open positions within The Stand (i.e. any open overall, chair or committee member positions). Once internal positions are filled, recruitment will focus on dancer recruitment for the rest of the year. For recruitment purposes, they are responsible for reaching out to alumni groups, volunteer groups, NYC schools, etc. to recruit volunteers.
  • Community Relations Chair: responsible for physical awareness efforts. They will be responsible for “hitting the streets” to spread the awareness of The Stand. They will organize events, like flyering, to spread the word of The Stand throughout NYC andNorthern New Jersey. They will utilize the Recruitment Chair’s contacts, when necessary, for outreach in the community for all efforts.
