Volunteers
Volunteers are the lifeblood of the NOC.
Not much can happen without the enthusiastic organizing of our volunteer committees. Committee membership is open to any community member who has an interest in supporting Northumberland County's symphony.
The Chair of each committee is held by a member of the Board.
Take a look at the committee descriptions below — does one sound appealing to you ? Remember, many people who are active volunteers get involved in something that is new to them, a wonderful way to develop new skills or interests. Of course, if you're already experienced in some field, we'd love to welcome you aboard on the applicable committee if that's your preference.
Get involved — it's fun and rewarding !
