energy, enthusiasm and professional expertise in one or more of the following
areas:
· Jazz practitioner with broad experience *see note below
· Fundraising (public and private sector)
· Finance

*Jazz Practitioner
Any musician joining the board would not

suit an established artist or one who lives outside of the area.
We are looking for exceptional people
with the profile, reputation and skills necessary to act as a powerful
ambassador for Jazz North in any forum. A belief in the value of music and its
creative community is essential; enthusiasm for jazz is desirable, though not

excellent communication skills and be eager to bring your expertise to work
with our small executive and staff team in order to demonstrate strong
leadership within a committed and active board.
This is a volunteer role; board members
are not remunerated and are expected to commit to the time equivalent of about
5 days per year, including 4 board meetings a year plus occasional attendance
at Jazz North events. Travel expenses can be paid. In addition, board members
contribute to sub-committees which meet by phone/Skype at intervals throughout
the year.
As a Jazz North board member you will:
· Get involved in a highly creative and
friendly environment
· Contribute to the development of an
organisation which plays a key role in the support and development the north’s
jazz community and talent
· Be part of an inspirational musical
organisation delivering projects of the highest quality.
Jazz North is currently in receipt of
ACE Strategic Funding of £190,000 pa, which runs until March 2015.
The Board of Directors is pivotal to the
development of Jazz North as the organisation works towards securing charitable
status and bidding to become an Arts Council England National Portfolio
Organisation (NPO) in April 2015.
We are looking for talented individuals
