The Graphic Medicine International Collective (GMIC) is seeking several new individuals to serve on its board. GMIC’s mission is to guide and support the use of comics in health, and we strive to build connections between various communities including health care providers, patients, caregivers, artists, scholars, librarians and others. GMIC oversees and coordinates a wide variety of projects and initiatives, and Board members are expected to be actively involved in such initiatives as well as all aspects of organizational decision-making. This is an unpaid position, as we are a volunteer organization without a substantial funding stream.
Board members will serve for 3 years with the possibility of a second 3-year term. We wish to encourage diverse applicants, including scholars, artists, health care providers, students and others. If you are interested in being considered for this position, please respond to the following four questions, which will serve as your Expression of Interest (no more than 1000 words please):
-
- In a few sentences, please indicate why you would like to join the GMIC Board.
- Briefly describe your experiences and areas of interest that you think would be most relevant to serving on the GMIC Board.
- In a few sentences, what does Graphic Medicine mean to you?
- What priorities and/or issues should GMIC focus on over the next couple of years?
Additional information about the organization can be found on the Graphic Medicine website (www.graphicmedicine.org), and if you have questions, feel free to reach out to GMIC co-chairs Michael Green (mgreen@pennstatehealth.psu.edu) and Ebru Ustundag (eustundag@brocku.ca.)
