The Western Australian Museum – Geraldton is looking for community members to join its Community Advisory Committee.

Nominations for two voluntary community representative positions are now open.

WA Museum CEO Alec Coles said he hopes to receive Expressions of Interest from people who want to be part of the history and future of Geraldton and the Mid West.

“We are looking for people with interests in areas that can assist the development of the WA Museum – Geraldton. We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in establishing volunteer programs, or people interested in using digital technologies to share stories and content,” Mr Coles said.

“I would also like to acknowledge outgoing Advisory Committee members Mort Harslett and Trish Palmonari and thank them for their contributions over many years.”

The Community Advisory Committee meets four times a year and is chaired by Malcolm Smith.

“Members of the Advisory Committee actively advocate for the Museum and provide a community perspective on the Museum’s operations. It’s a great way to make a community contribution to one of Geraldton’s key cultural spaces,” Mr Smith said.

Expressions of Interest including a statement outlining suitability and a current resume should be mailed to Leigh O’Brien, WA Museum – Geraldton, PO Box 2229, Geraldton, WA 6530, or emailed to leigh.o’brien@museum.wa.gov.au by 4pm, 19 June 2015.
