Have you thought of becoming an HDS Associate? Helping to extend further the great work done by HDS? Perhaps that time is now!
The HDS trustees direct and manage the work of the society. However, the delivery of our plans for the future can best be achieved through the efforts of a wider circle of people with particular talents and experience. Our existing associates look after particular aspects of our work – e.g. our social media presence, our website, helping with the sale of our books and CDs – but there is room for even more people to be involved, in a small or larger way, with other aspects of our work. For example:
- Working on one of the HDS sub groups: the Dance Teachers Group or the Musicians Group – they drive our educational work – or the Publications Group
- Leaflet design
- Helping to compile a directory of dance clubs, and collating dance notations for our website
- Creating video clips of dance steps, figures and dances for our website
- Event administration
This list is not exhaustive!
One advantage of being an associate is that you would not need to attend trustee committee meetings! Sadly, you would not be paid for your efforts; but the same applies to trustees. However, expenses for attending meetings could be met. We have no limit to the size of our pool of associates. So, why not offer to become one?
