From March 15, 2023 post.

Here's a great service and leadership opportunity for our city's immigrant and refugee community. The deadline to apply for a position on the City's International Advisory Committee is March 21.

Are you seeking a leadership position serving Greensboro's immigrant community? The City’s International Advisory Committee (IAC) seeks applicants for the 2023 Leadership Team Elections in April! Since 2015, Greensboro’s immigrant and refugee communities have biennially selected leaders to guide the IAC’s work.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old and may pursue one of four roles on the five-person leadership team (chair, vice chair, secretary, and executive member). Interested parties should complete and return the online leadership application no later than 5 pm on March 21 to City International Services and Language Access Coordinator Jodie Stanley. Candidates must attend an online information session before the election.

Applicants who meet the listed requirements will stand for election on April 21 and April 22. Voting is conducted in conjunction with a resource fair for newcomers at the Greensboro Coliseum Terrace, 1921 W. Gate City Blvd. Volunteers willing to assist with the election and resource fair should contact Stanley and plan to attend an online training session on either April 12 or April 13.

Established in 2008, the IAC works to create a more inclusive Greensboro for members of the international community. Comprised of individuals whose national origin lies outside of the United States, the committee promotes the perspective of the City’s international community to the Human Rights Commission and City Council.
