Elections for new board members
The Polijazz 2025 board is coming to an end, meaning that we are in need for new folks who want to keep this association alive and running.
In order for Polijazz to operate, it needs at least a Chair, Secretary and a Treasurer for 2025 into 2026. If nobody applies, Polijazz will not be able to organize dance classes anymore for the next year. Being in the Polijazz board is actually fun and the workload is really light! This is your greatest chance to see how a dance association works from the inside.
If you are interested in a position on the board to help keep Polijazz running for others to enjoy, then please contact us for relevant positions listed below at polijazz_info@polijazz.fi
