WILPF can and must make a difference! Will you help?
Apply or Nominate for the National Board!
Nomination Deadline: September 15

Now is the time to step up! Bring your passion and clear sightedness, your ideas and energy, to the WILPF US Board. The elections are coming this fall, and you can help guide WILPF's future!  
 
Consider running this fall for one of the eight open positions. As a board member, you would:

  • 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.

Or do you know of a WILPFer you'd like to nominate for a board position? You can nominate a qualified candidate, helping them to realize that they could fill such a leadership role!
 
A minimum of 24 months of 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.
