The EFB presents an opportunity to exercise contemporary arts administration practices that students learn in the MAAAP curriculum. The primary responsibility of the EFB is to solicit, review, and award grants to MAAAP students. Being a member of the board does<em> not<\/em> prohibit you from applying for an Enrichment Fund Grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consensus is an essential practice among all board members. The EFB operates in a horizontal organizational structure which necessitates strong interpersonal communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team. The grant application and new board member review processes are based on the mission and vision of the EFB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As peers in the Department, we operate with the goal of transparency between the EFB and the SAIC MAAAP community. Due to the sensitive nature of the materials the EFB reviews, we ask that all new board members understand and value the importance of discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Some additional responsibilities of the board includes:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Updating the Enrichment Fund website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing communications via Instagram and MAAAP Department emails<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintaining internal email management with grantees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping open communication with the SAIC community<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taking minutes at EFB meetings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Considering fundraising initiatives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Board membership is a year-long commitment.
