NOW is a CRUCIAL time to LEAD and make a DIFFERENCE in our current WORLD!
Apply and Nominate for the WILPF US National Board!
Application Deadline: Sunday, October 10, 2021
Nomination Deadline: Friday, October 1, 2021
The Triennial Congress was exciting and inspiring! We learned about a wide variety of issues and struggles that WILPF members and other activists are involved in. For the future, Board members will help determine the direction and future of WILPF US, along with our issue committees, branches, and members.
The many members who participated in the Congress have been inspired to do more in their branches and communities. More participation is needed at the national level, too. Are you ready to take your leadership skills to the next level? Run for the WILPF US national Board this fall!
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 procedures, budget, and other issues
- Help shape and develop WILPF at the national level
- Develop respectful working relationships and meaningful connections 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 the stretch 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 women like yourself.
- Be a part of change! WILPF needs a full board as we navigate these historic times. Our unique outlook links militarization and war to corporate greed and patriarchy.
You can nominate a qualified candidate, helping them to realize that they could fill such a leadership role! Submit the nomination form by the deadline: Friday, October 1, 2021.
