Vacature: VPO- bestuurslid/ website redacteur 30 november 2011 Beste VPO leden,
Vanaf 1 januari 2012 zal Chantal Gorissen na 3 jaar haar functie als VPO- bestuurslid/ website redacteur neerleggen. Het VPO bestuur vraagt hierbij aan alle leden om te overwegen of zij geïnteresseerd zijn om deze taak op zich te nemen. Voor de continuïteit binnen het bestuur zijn we op zoek naar iemand die minimaal 1 jaar zijn/haar taken volwaardig uit kan voeren. De vergaderingen vinden overwegend plaats in Utrecht.
De specifieke taken van de website redacteur van het VPO zijn:
- Het up-to-date houden van de VPO website
- Het schrijven van korte verslagen van de VPO middagen en borrels om op de website te plaatsen.
Daarnaast is de website redacteur samen met de overige bestuursleden verantwoordelijk voor het organiseren van VPO-middagen (2-3 per jaar) en de activiteiten van het VPO op de Onderwijs Research Dagen (ORD). Doorgaans verlopen tussentijds de contacten via email, bijvoorbeeld over het regelen van sprekers of het aanleveren van teksten. Hoeveel tijd de functie kost is wisselend, rond perioden dat er iets georganiseerd wordt (VPO-middag, ORD of nieuwsbrief/ verslag) kost het meer tijd per week dan wanneer dit niet het geval is. Er is natuurlijk een minimale tijdsbesteding: vergadering, VPO-middagen, mails, maar veel hangt af van hoeveel je er zelf in wilt steken.
Het bestuur vraagt iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in de vacante positie van website redacteur van het VPO dit kenbaar te maken aan het bestuur (voor 15 december) door een mail met een korte motivatie te sturen naar Johan van Strien (Johan.vanStrien@ou.nl). Mocht je vragen hebben over de taken van de website redacteur, dan kan je contact opnemen met de huidige website redacteur (Chantal.Gorissen@ou.nl ).
Met vriendelijke groet,
het VPO bestuur
