As you all know Ladyfest Brighton is only four months away. We really need your help with some of the committees. We would like people to become facilitators which means taking on responsibility for organising one of the committees below. You’ll be given loads of help with this and it will look REALLY good on your CV. We’d prefer it if you were female, but we have quite a few guys helping us already and anyone sympathetic to our cause is welcome.
If you want more information or want to send an application for any of these positions, please contact info@ladyfestbrighton.co.uk Send us a bit of information about yourself and why you’d like to be a facilitator. The only criteria are that you are local, have internet access, be organised, be able to commit until October and be able to attend weekly/fortnightly general meetings.
