Volunteering
BAHS is a volunteer organization. Our main opportunities are:
Show volunteering
See the Calendar for dates and locations of shows. You do not need an animal to show to help out. You do need to be a member in good standing for liability reasons.
Club Volunteering
See the Contacts page for open board positions. We are always happy to welcome members-at-large. If you have a specific project in mind, contact a board member.
Newsletter Editor
We are currently looking for a newsletter editor. What you need to know:
This is a volunteer position.
You need to be comfortable working with Google Docs and Google Drive. Our newsletter is created using Google Docs and distributed as a PDF. However, if you want to do this differently, we are totally fine with that as well.
We publish up to 11 newsletters a year, but that's not a fixed schedule, and we can work out a schedule that works for you.
Look at past newsletters to get a sense of what we do. We are open to change and improvements.
We care deeply about copyright, and you must make sure all reused materials are available for use and attributed properly.
Our past newsletter editor is happy to inform, train, contribute, and even collaborate.
