Staff Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) is beginning the process of hiring a Choir Director. Members of the congregation are invited to serve on a Director Search Committee. It would include 1-2 meetings in October to refine the job description and job posting, and have it approved by SPRC. Then we would review the applications, write interview questions, and interview qualified candidates. After selecting a Director your work would likely be done. It is a 3-6 month commitment starting October 1.
Please email: Diana Hill, Chair of SPRC, [email protected] by September 20th and state why you’d like to serve on the search committee. We want the committee to represent the many talents and demographics of our congregation.
P.S. Mariana is doing a wonderful job as Acting Choir Director, and she is welcome to apply when the job opening is announced.
