Interesting about this job
In the committed and enthusiastic board of the Seniors in Word and Image Foundation, a vacancy will soon arise for a treasurer with a social heart.
Seniors read more easily from a tablet, computer or e-reader than from paper. That is why we have made it so that our elderly magazine can be read exclusively on the internet. And that approach has been reasonably successful. The number of unique visitors through September is approaching 17 thousand. And the number of subscribers to our monthly Newsletter went towards a thousand.
Cooperating in a friendly atmosphere with mutual resect and appreciation.
