The Marketing and Communications Division is responsible for membership engagement and developing, coordinating, and maintaining all communications with members and other committees. This Division manages the WCNY communications, consistent brand standards, the membership directory through the school, the website, the Club’s value proposition, and the dues business model. This Division is responsible for creating communications and services for the membership that will ensure a high level of member retention and bring new members, which is foundational for the Club.

Content Development Committee:
The Chair, Content Development, will help support the Marketing and Communications Division by crafting creative, including copy and visuals, to deliver compelling communications that capture the attention of our 30,000 alumni members. You will develop brand standards and communication tools/templates to support WCNY email blasts, print ads, social posts, and other marketing materials that appeal to a multi-generational audience of highly intelligent, highly educated, and highly successful alumni. This role works seamlessly with Analytics & Insights and PR/Social Media Committees. As the Chair, you will enlist, along with the VP Volunteers, a strong group of volunteers such as copywriters and graphic artists for the Content Committee who can carry on the work of first-rate brand creative in the years to come.

Time Commitment:
Time will vary throughout the year, but it will be approximately 2-4 hours per week on average. Our guiding principle is “many hands make lighter work.”

We are looking for a professional Creative/Communications Director with real-world experience leading exceptional brand communication. The ideal leader has solid organizational and people skills, supported by nuanced critical thinking and creative instinct.
