     Title: Society to Recruit Two New Members for Board

VANDERHOOF / BURNS LAKE / KITAMAAT - The Nechako-Kitamaat Development Fund Society is actively recruiting people willing to serve on the Board as vacancies occur. Promotion of this recruitment involves sending this notice to all MLA’s, local governments and economic development organizations, as well as advertizing in all local newspapers within our investment area.

We will use a point-based system to evaluate applicants and create an eligibility list. This list will be sent to the Minister of Small Business and Economic Development, and to the B.C. Board Resourcing and Development Office to make the decision on appointments.

Points will be based on how well the applicants meet the following criteria:
 

1. Resident in the Kitamaat, Nechako, Burns Lake and Southside areas, including rural and First Nations communities.
2. Proven skills and experience in the following
   
   • Small business
   • Economic development
   • Local government
   • Human resources
   • Financial management

Board members are required to travel between Kitamaat Village and Vanderhoof to attend bi-monthly meetings. Key responsibilities of the Board are to make funding decisions for community development projects and to direct the policies and operations of the Society. More information can be accessed by visiting our website at www.nkdf.org or Board Resourcing and Development website at www.gov.bc.ca/brdo

If you are interested, please send your resume and a cover letter explaining your interest in the Society, by April 29, 2005.

If you would like to apply but cannot meet this deadline, or if you have any other questions, please call the office’s toll-free number: 1-877-478-3863.  We are happy to receive applications for Board membership on an on-going basis.
