Of particular interest to our committee are candidates with any combination of the following skills: nonprofit governance, legal expertise, accounting or bookkeeping, fundraising, membership development, communications, a wicked sense of humor, and a general enthusiasm for progressive causes at the local, state or national level.
The Board terms involve a three-year commitment with an option for a renewal of three-years. Check out our current Board!
