Our U3A depends on volunteers without whom it would cease to exist. Here are roles that are currently vacant or will be vacant in the near future:
Chair (from 1st November)
Our chairperson is the figurehead for Harrogate u3a members and the outside world. Duties include running the committee meetings (usually 6-8 weeks apart) and working with our regional and national organisations. You have the opportunity to influence strategy and make a wide range of contacts. Contact Chair
Vice Chair
The role of the Vice Chair is to take over duties if the Chair is absent. This includes, but is not limited to: answering enquiries, chairing committee meetings, and hosting events. If you are interested in becoming the Chairperson in the future, this is the ideal position. Contact Chair

The Membership Secretary is responsible for processing membership applications and renewals, and keeping our member records up to date. You will work closely with several of the other Committee members, for example at renewal events, or perhaps preparing membership materials to give to prospective members. Contact Chair
