Art Kits Lead

Art Kits have been a vital part of VGA’s Community Outreach since 2020.  The coordinator maintains & tracks the inventory, which includes purchasing supplies (Grant-funded) and grouping them for our kit assembler.  S/he also keeps a database which includes inventory & distribution stats and contact info for the organizations that we supply.  The position requires organizational skills and some networking. Record-keeping is currently managed via an Excel spreadsheet. Some tasks,  like delivering kits,  can be delegated.  The person who manages this program should coordinate with the Treasurer regarding grants & expenditures on a regular basis. Data should be reported to the board as it is part of our non-profit activity.  Interested? Contact Debbie Teeter: education@villagegalleryarts.org

Experience with Quickbooks would be a plus, although it can be learned.  An understanding of spreadsheets is also helpful. (treasurer@villagegalleryarts.org)
