SFYS has reached the point where it can no longer be a
one-man-band organization and I invite you all to share a bit of your time and
skills to help this community keep growing and being a resource to Utah County
writers.
If we all do what we can, this big job is very doable. What I am asking is that we each look to see
what interests us and what is within our skill set and commit to that area of
interest as a part of the administration of Speak For Yourself Open Mic.
For example, being on the host/MC schedule generally means
committing to attend one Thursday a month (the commitment will be less as more
hosts sign up).
Another opportunity is to write articles or submit creative
work for the blog and/or help recruit others to do the same (and format and
post the content).
Another opportunity is to regularly update the SFYS
Instagram.
Another opportunity is to research free advertising
opportunities and pursue them (for example, we are on many of the local online
event pages but not all of them and the listings do expire eventually and need
to be updated).
Another opportunity is to coordinate educational outreach
with Utah County Schools or other arts organizations.
Another opportunity is to recruit features and/or make
fliers.
Admin opportunities can be found at the SFYS Open Mic Admin
group page, which is a public discussion page on Facebook. Anyone can post ideas for how to help SFYS
grow and if a posted opportunity is something you can take on, reply to the
thread. I look forward to working with
you! You are wonderful writers and I
feel tremendously lucky to be a part of this writing community.
