Volunteers
There are several ways to support WMPA, and not all of them are financial. We have critical needs for volunteers with the following skills and interests:
Treasurer (Board Member): CPA or accountant preferred, but not required. Must have a good working knowledge of accrual accounting. Oversees the WMPA Bookkeeper to ensure that books are up to date and expenses and income are correctly and accurately recorded. Attends WMPA monthly Board meetings and prepares Quickbooks Online reports. Provides financial records needed by the WMPA Accountants to prepare IRS tax returns and in annual reviews and audits. Assists others with financial information needed for grant proposals. Occasionally writes checks. Average workload is 10 hours/month.
Public Relations and Marketing (Board Member): WMPA seeks a volunteer with background and experience in these areas to help get the word out about our great programs and help us attract new patrons. The position is yours to define and execute.
Front of House Volunteers (not Board members): This is a great way to help support WMPA. Front of House tasks include ushering, handing out programs, ticket selling, will call desk, and more, at the 10 Philharmonic Concerts in DC and in Alexandria. We also need to staff the 15 Summer Chamber Concerts at the Lyceum. While a good number of friends of WMPA currently help with these tasks, we can always use more to share the workloads. We will train you.
