Volunteer Event Coordinator Needed for Writers Events


Austin Film Meet/AIM needs a volunteer event producer/coordinator to help coordinate and produce events for writers with the support of our organization Austin Film Meet/AIM. 


AIM Wordsmiths includes 2 monthly events for writers:


1 - Guest Speakers on Writer Topics - held monthly on 3rd Sunday afternoon/evening - a scheduled event with a guest speaker who will speak on a topic important to writers 


2 - Screenplay Critique Sessions - held monthly on 1st Sunday afternoon/evening - casual meetings in which writers exchange scripts and fill out feedback forms, provided by AIM.   

 

Duties for this positions include:

- Assisting in the selection of guest speakers

- Contacting and scheduling guest speakers

- Getting signatures for our guest speaker thank you cards and mailing them 

- Attending Austin Film Meet mixer as Wordsmiths rep

- Attending all Wordsmiths events as the primary meeting organizer

- Maintaining a sign-in sheet at all Wordsmiths events

- Occasionally answering questions via web, email or phone from event speakers, guests and members 

- Encouraging membership in AIM

 

We also welcome any ideas you have for other writer-related events. Creativity is encouraged. The right candidate should enjoy meeting people, be resourceful and organized, but no formal event producing/coordinating experience is required. You do not need to be a professional writer but an interest in writing would be helpful. Please be comfortable with email communication. Although this position requires only a small time commitment, we need a reliable person who is available for at least 6 months to fill this position in order to continue offering events for writers.

 

Benefits Include:

- Free AIM membership 

- Event Coordinating experience

- Leadership experience 

- Get connected in the industry

- Make connections with notable writers

- Meet and mentor other passionate, committed writers

- Support from a network of other generous indie filmmakers 

- Opportunity for promotion

- An opportunity to lead a community group without having to worry about building or managing a website, marketing, or promoting that group. We take care of all that. 

- AIM also offers a network of producers, actors, and filmmakers necessary to make scripts into movies.
