GMIC Needs a Treasurer! | Graphic Medicine

GMIC, the Graphic Medicine International Collective, is looking for applicants to join our board as Treasurer.

Matthew Noe @noethematt.bsky.social · Sep 9

To that end, GMIC is now seeking applications to fill the role of Treasurer. This does come with some financial oversight responsibilities, and requires US citizenship, but it also comes with opportunities to collaborate as one voice of many on the full GMIC board.

That said, it is time to step back. Organizations thrive best through a mix of new and old voices; and when those of us who are, somehow, old voices recognize when we're tired and ready to step back do so.

(I'll say more when I fully roll off, likely early in 2026.)

I've been serving as @graphicmedicine.bsky.social International Collective's Treasurer since we incorporated back in 2019. I'm grateful for all we've accomplished, the small part I've played in it all, and most importantly, for the relationships built through this work.
