• Assist with fundraising for WVEC including grant writing, fundraising letters and follow up with donors.
• Send out monthly GREEN newsletters.
To apply, please submit your resume to info@wvecouncil.org. The position is expected to start June 15, 2020 depending on concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. While it is not required that the person reside in Charleston, they need to be able to travel there regularly for meetings.
