In that time, the vendor count has grown along with foot traffic, volunteers, community partnerships and regular activities\/events. A new manager would be taking control of that established platform and all its possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lack of experience isn&#8217;t a disqualifying factor. What&#8217;s far more important is dedication, resourcefulness and vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This role also isn\u2019t limited to one person. If you\u2019d like to divvy up the managerial responsibilities and work alongside others as a team, that should be doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current manager is committed to advising and actively volunteering, and there&#8217;s an existing pool of committed volunteers from the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council who are willing to handle specialized roles (e.g., music booking, volunteer coordination, kids\u2019 activities) and assist with setup, point of sale and teardown during market days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, finally, there is the possibility of pay. There are potential funding sources and other resources that could be pursued should that be a priority of the new manager(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested, pleased e-mail&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:market@emersongarfield.org\">market@emersongarfield.org<\/a>&nbsp;or call (509) 255-3072.
