Apply for Interim Board Positions and Americas Liaison!
Application Deadline: Tuesday, June 4
This year, 2019, is a critical one, as movements and developments across the country shape what issues will be highlighted in the US presidential and Congressional races. WILPF US is preparing for an important 2020: an election year and the year of our next national WILPF Congress. How could your involvement shape the direction for national-level WILPF at this critical time?
Spread your leadership wings by joining the national board in an interim position for 2019! This year there is a rare six-month opportunity to test-drive one of the open Board positions--or to apply for the U.S. Liaison to the Americas Region Representative position. The new
Americas Liaison position is
similar to the former International Board Representative position, but it does not involve any travel.
The Nominating Committee urges members to apply to be our Americas Liaison or for one of the six interim Board positions:
- Development Chair
- Nominating Committee Chair
- Personnel Chair
- Program Chair (two positions)
- At-Large Member
All of the interim board positions plus the Treasurer position will be up for nominations and voting in the fall 2019 elections. (The new board term starts in January 2020.)
