JOIN THE EFFORT

board interest form

TO BE CONSIDERED FOR SERVICE

please complete the following
Which skills would you best fit?

Consider serving as a committee member or advisor if there is a conflict of interest that would regularly stop you from voting on board decision. If you join the board, you'll be in meetings 3-5 hours per month (board + committee meetings). You'll also help recruit non-board members to committees to accomplish great things together.


This form does not count as you joining the board. We will reach out to conduct a phone interview. Then your signature on the Board Member Commitment form will begin your official service.


Regardless of how you end up bringing your skills, there are many ways to be involved. Thank you, and welcome!
