Vacancies

If you would like to help us build Irish community in Knoxville, please email us at [email protected], to talk about opportunities. Each board member, regardless of title, still attends board meetings, votes on measures, and is able to submit measures for consideration. Anyone may accept tasks outside of their traditional titular purview to distribute the workload among the leadership. Currently, KIS is entirely volunteer-run. Below is a list and short description of each available role.

There are currently no board positions needing to be filled. If any positions do become available, we will list them here.
