We're seeking a couple more board members. It's a #volunteer gig. Some things that might appeal to you:<br/><br/>* You’ll get a behind-the-scenes understanding of forces and structures affecting #SpeculativeFiction #GenreFiction #scifi #ScienceFiction #fantasy #horror and more, such as publishing schedules, organizations’ budgets, publicity and fundraising dynamics, changes in career possibilities for authors, and competing access needs.<br/>* If you have never been on the board of a nonprofit org before, this is a good one to start with. Pretty calm & friendly bunch, with a budget that's relatively small and easy to understand.<br/>* Our board meetings are infrequent and productive, and they end on time.<br/>* There is a small secret pleasure of knowing who the Award and Fellowship winners are before they do, and before the public finds out.<br/><br/>We're asking people to apply by December 1st. Please feel free to share. </blockquote> 2026-10-20T22:29:59Z
