Do you know a WILPF member with commitment and passion who would help as a valuable national board member? Could it be you?
Now
is the time to step up!
In the 2020 critical election year, WILPF US is striking out in a new and more strategic direction with more cohesive program work. WILPF's membership is growing, and our influence is on the rise. Board participation helps move WILPF forward.
Nominate or run for one of the eight open positions.
All positions are for three-year terms, unless otherwise stated:
- Treasurer
- Development Chair (serves second and third years of vacant 3-year position)
- Membership Development Chair
- Personnel Chair
- Nominating Committee Chair (serves second and third years of vacant 3-year position)
- Program Committee Chair
- Program Committee Chair (serves third year of vacant 3-year position)
- At-Large Board Member (serves third year of vacant 3-year position)
A minimum of 24 months of substantially continuous WILPF membership by September 1, 2019, is required to apply for the board. This means that a candidate must have been a member at least beginning September 1, 2017.
Board members determine the direction and work of WILPF US in multiple ways:
- Make policy decisions and take actions for program, membership building, and fund-raising
- Participate in WILPF US deliberations on policy, budget, and other issues
- Help shape and develop WILPF at the national level
- Develop respectful working relationships with sister board members
Board membership comes with many benefits!
- Leadership growth: Whether fairly new to leadership or having played a leadership role for many years, board members develop new skills and enjoy thestretch of spreading leadership wings.
- Personal growth: Enjoy increasing confidence. As your abilities grow, so do you!
- Mentorship and guidance: Board members are not alone! Former board members have agreed to advise new board members as desired.
- Enjoy working relationships with other intelligent, energetic, and talented people like yourself.
- Be a part of change! WILPF needs a full board as we navigate these historic times. Our unique outlook links corporate greed and patriarchy to militarization and war. WILPF is urgently needed in the peace movement!
