OPN is made possible by the generous gift of time by volunteers. If you want to get involved, let us know where you would like to help or if you have a special skill you can share. To volunteer, please join OPN and come to a meeting or send us email.
The Ohio Patient Network is currently looking for dedicated individuals to fill the following positions: Graphic Artists
OPN has a number of upcoming projects that require the talent of a graphic
artist. We're designing a membership mailer and postal newsletter along with
updating many of our older materials http://www.ohiopatient.net/v2/content/view/31/53/.
We need a graphic artist with an understanding of design software like Photoshop,
InDesign, and more.
If you have design skills, applicable software, and a little time to devote
to OPN, please respond to Mary Jane Borden (mjborden@ohiopatient.net)
or Matt Fairfield (matt@chateaumanagement.com). Membership Coordinator
OPN is looking to expand its membership services and needs a detail-oriented
person to help plan this rollout, maintain a database, conduct regular
mailings, network with other groups, and recruit new members.
Attributes necessary for success in this position include a pleasant can-do
personality, attention to detail, and sensitivity to deadlines. A basic
understanding of computer technology like databases and word processors is
required.
Like other positions at OPN at this time, this position is voluntary and
unpaid. However, it might be perfect for the patient who may have extra time
on his/her hands and wants to make a real contribution to the movement.
If you are interested, please e-mail Brandy Zink at bzink@ohiopatient.net.
Chemical Bigotry Chair
One of the themes OPN is highlighting this year is Chemical Bigotry, defined
as the growing practice of discrimination against those who use cannabis as
medicine. Cannabis patients are being denied employment, threatened with the
loss of child custody, kicked out of pain management programs, and worst of
all, rejected from organ transplants. This must stop.
OPN has sketched out a program that includes research, media activism, and
direct action to combat this unacceptable practice. To maximize this project's
potential for all of us, OPN seeks someone with strong research, analytical,
and motivational skills to carry out its various components. This project can
be as little or as big as you make it. If you have an abiding interest in civil
rights and are now motivated to do something about it, this may be the project
for you. Please contact Mary Jane Borden at mjborden@ohiopatient.net
for more information.
