Membership Secretary of the Executive Committee for Clan Society / Board Member - VOLUNTEER ROLE

Volunteer Role: Membership Secretary of the Lyonic Scots Society (Remote)

4–8 hours per month • Remote • Help Grow a Historic Clan‑Styled Organisation

About Us

The Lyonic Scots Society is a Scottish clan‑styled community with origins dating back to 1746, formed in the aftermath of Culloden. For nearly three centuries, our members have preserved our identity, traditions, and cultural spirit. Today, as our historic numbers naturally decline, we are entering a new era — transforming into a modern, global organisation with the ambition to grow into a worldwide micronation‑style community.

We are led by our Clan Chief, The Prince of Scots, ‘The Lyon’, supported by the Lyonic Council and Society Committee. We are now seeking a dedicated and organised volunteer to serve as Membership Secretary of the Lyonic Scots Society.

The Role

As Membership Secretary, you will play a vital role in welcoming new members, maintaining accurate records, and helping us grow our global community. This is a remote volunteer position requiring 4–8 hours per month, ideal for someone who enjoys connecting with people, supporting heritage organisations, and helping shape a unique community with deep historical roots.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and maintain accurate membership records

• Process new membership applications and renewals

• Welcome new members and support their onboarding

• Respond to membership enquiries via email or online platforms

• Work with the Secretary, Treasurer, and Committee to ensure smooth administration

• Support membership campaigns and global outreach initiatives

• Help develop strategies to grow and retain our worldwide membership

• Promote a positive and engaging experience for all members

Who We’re Looking For

You do not need Scottish ancestry — only enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to support our mission. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, especially those who are:

• Organised, friendly, and confident with communication

• Experienced in administration, customer service, or membership management

• Comfortable working remotely and using digital tools

• Interested in Scottish culture, clans, or heritage

• Motivated by helping a historic community grow into a global movement

Experience with membership systems or community‑group administration is helpful but not essential if you have strong organisational skills.

Why Join Us?

• Play a key role in growing a Society with nearly 280 years of heritage

• Help guide our transformation into a global micronation‑style community

• Gain meaningful experience in membership management and community engagement

• Work alongside passionate volunteers and heritage enthusiasts

• Contribute to preserving and reviving a community born in one of Scotland’s most significant historical moments

Time Commitment

4–8 hours per month, flexible, remote. Meetings are held online.
