To that end, GMIC is now seeking applications to fill the role of Treasurer. This does come with some financial oversight responsibilities, and requires US citizenship, but it also comes with opportunities to collaborate as one voice of many on the full GMIC board.

I've been serving as @graphicmedicine.bsky.social International Collective's Treasurer since we incorporated back in 2019. I'm grateful for all we've accomplished, the small part I've played in it all, and most importantly, for the relationships built through this work.
