NCWN Membership Coordinator Maggie Morgan has accepted a full-time teaching position at Vance-Granville Community College, and will be leaving the Network staff as soon as we find a replacement for her.
This means two things:
One, you should direct to Ed (at ed@ncwriters.org or 336-293-8844) any questions you normally would ask Maggie.
Two, the Network’s loss could be your gain, if you think you have what it takes to be part of our hard-working staff.
If you are dedicated, diligent, and detail-oriented, please read the Membership Coordinator job description, and send us your application. An existing familiarity with the Network would be a big plus for any applicant.
We wish Maggie all the best in her new job, thank her for all she’s done as Membership Coordinator (and for offering to stay on and help out while we look for a new M.C.), and look forward to seeing her as a happy and carefree registrant at upcoming conferences.
