Volunteer Board Member Elections for Three Board Positions!

The Friends of Arlington's Planetarium Announce Vacancies on its All-Volunteer Board of Directors Beginning in January 2025.

The Friends of Arlington's Planetarium (FOAP) is a non-profit organization, dedicated to supporting the planetarium in Arlington, Virginia, and promoting science education for the general public. As part of its mission, FOAP hosts a variety of monthly science-themed public shows at the planetarium. The group also raises funds to sponsor a college scholarship and grants for teachers seeking professional STEM development.

FOAP’s all-volunteer Board of Directors does much of the planning and guidance work of the organization. The Friends are seeking interested individuals to serve on its Board, elected in January to a three-year term. Enthusiasm, a willingness to be actively involved in various projects, and the time to do so, are the primary requirements of the position. No special science knowledge is required, however, to further enhance the planetarium's broader audience, volunteers with a background in communications, publicity or volunteer program management are a plus, as is any candidate who is bilingual in Spanish.

Interested candidates seeking information and an application can find details at the FOAP Elections web page. The deadline for applications submission is Dec. 31, 2024.
