SCall for Applications to Join the Reacting Consortium Board as an Alumni Rep

The Reacting Consortium Board is calling for applications to fill an Alumni Representative position. To qualify, applicants must have played a Reacting game as an undergraduate. New Board members will be selected at the March 2025 meeting of the Board.

The Responsibilities of Reacting Consortium Board Members Include:

• Be a member of the Reacting to the Past Consortium

• Regularly attend and participate in all board and assigned committee meetings 

• Serve on at least one RCB committee and offer to take on special assignments 

• Stay informed about the organization’s mission, services, policies, and programs 

• Work with Reacting staff to achieve organizational goals

• Donate to the Consortium at a level comfortable to the individual Board Member

This year, the Reacting Consortium Board is particularly interested in candidates with the following interests:

1. Diversity, equity and inclusion programming  

2. Fundraising for academic and other non-profit work

3. Connecting Reacting to educational spaces outside of academia such as secondary education and museums.

The Reacting Consortium benefits immensely from a Board membership with a diversity of personal identities, educational institutional affiliation, and experience with game design and gameplay. Nominations are not limited to faculty at post-secondary education institutions. We particularly welcome secondary education instructors. We encourage applicants to describe how they would contribute to and foster the Board’s diversity. 

Members should plan to attend the Annual Institute at Barnard College (planned yearly for early June) for board meetings as well as to participate in quarterly conference calls for the entire Board and smaller electronic committee meetings that will vary each year. Members-elect are welcome to observe the board meetings during the Annual Institute before their term begins in July.

Required Application Materials Due by December 1st, 2024:

• A 1-2 page letter describing your credentials (keeping in mind the list above) and reason for interest in joining the Board. 

• A brief 1-2 page CV.

Please submit application materials and any questions to the Chair of the Governance & Nominations Committee, Ethan Besser Fredrick, at Efredricke@gmail.com.
