Call for community volunteers to join Emerald Museum’s Community Asset Committee

Emerald Museum is seeking community volunteers to become members of its Community Asset Committee.

This is a unique and rewarding opportunity for individuals passionate about preserving cultural heritage, curating engaging exhibitions, and being part of a vibrant community of local history enthusiasts.

No previous experience in museums, history or heritage is required to be a committee member.

The upcoming Biennial General Meeting (BGM) of the Emerald Museum presents an ideal occasion for community members to step forward and contribute to the museum’s ongoing success.

Attendees will hear about the museum’s milestones and achievements over the past two years, providing valuable insight into the impact of their potential contributions.

All positions on the committee are open, and nominations will be accepted both prior to and on the night of the BGM.

The Emerald Museum is a vital resource for the Cardinia Shire, playing a crucial role in preserving the rich history of the area.

By joining the Community Asset Committee, volunteers will take a proactive approach in raising awareness of their local community and ensuring the continued preservation of its heritage.

Committee members serve a two-year term, during which they attend quarterly meetings to discuss organisational activities, participate in a rotating roster during museum opening hours, and represent the museum at key community events.

These responsibilities offer a chance to network, develop new skills, and make meaningful contributions and connections in the community.

Join the Emerald community in preserving the cultural heritage of Cardinia Shire and become a part of their dedicated team.

Emerald Museum Biennial General Meeting

Thursday 10 July, 6pm – 7.30pm

Emerald Museum, 5 Crichton Rd, Emerald

For more information, please contact the Emerald Museum by emailing enquiries@emeraldmuseum.org.au or calling 5968 2152.

Emerald Museum Community Asset Committee operates under a special arrangement with Cardinia Shire Council to manage and maintain the museum and Nobelius Heritage Park, both of which are Council-owned properties. This partnership allows the committee to directly oversee the museum’s operations, while receiving necessary support from Council, and ensuring the preservation of the region’s cultural heritage together.
