DESCRIPTION

The Member-at-Large position offers a flexible opportunity for passionate individuals who want to support the Digi60 Filmmakers' Festival and Ottawa’s independent filmmaking community but may not align with a specific board role at the time of application.

Members-at-Large serve as active members of the Board of Directors and contribute to festival planning, community engagement, and organizational development. During their term, they will work with the Board to identify an area of focus that matches their interests, skills, and availability — whether that’s programming, partnerships, community outreach, logistics, or something entirely new.

This is a great entry point for someone looking to grow into a leadership role within the local arts scene.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Attend and participate in monthly board meetings and strategic planning sessions
