Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Westerly Armory Restoration has two boards -- Executive (main) and Advisory.

EXECUTIVE BOARD membership entails monthly meetings (most often the first Thursday of the month at 4 pm) and giving of oneself (besides policy making) as a volunteer to help in some of such ways as fundraising, event planning/chairing, overseeing rental events, making local contacts, publicity, press work, museum work, float making, and many more facets. It is assumed that a board member would make a donation, but more importantly than money is interest in perpetuating the Armory as a cultural and social center (with rentals), a museum, and home to the Westerly Band. It is hoped that each board member will have ideas and, if agreed upon by the rest of the board, heavily assist in implementing those ideas. We ask for no show horses -- only work horses. Our board is not pretentious but caring and we range in age from 16 to 87.

Advisory Board of the Westerly Armory
Westerly Armory Restoration, Inc.



To expand its base and provide service to the community, the Executive Board of Westerly Armory Restoration, Inc. has added an Advisory Board. Whereas the Executive Board meets 12 times a year, the Advisory Board meets only twice annually (March/April and September/October).

The mission of the Advisory Board is to cull talents and ideas from adult individuals who would like to serve the Armory with limited time. These individuals offer their respective talents to the Armory (i.e., research, display, gardening, educational outreach, event assistance, fundraising, program development, personal contacts).

In addition, the Advisory Board was created to expand the Armory's influence - to reach out further to the community.

Membership on this Board will include no more than 40 members and membership from both the Westerly-Pawcatuck community as well as outside the community are welcome. This board can have its own officers by election.

The Advisory Board will meet at least once annually with the Executive Board so as to create a communications link with the entire Armory board base.

Membership is by invitation from Executive Board members of Westerly Armory Restoration, Inc.

The ADVISORY BOARD is an exciting and easy way for people to participate in various Armory projects without much meeting time. Members are urged to think of one or more ways they can serve the Westerly Armory.

Potential board members will be interviewed to talk about their interest in the historic Westerly Armory, what they feel they can add to the board, and what they can do for the Armory. Initial approval is by the Nominating Committee (4 members of the Board).

Advisory Board members are approved in a more casual way and can be appointed by the president or vice president.
