Do you want to do something substantial for the George Floyd's of our world?  Do you want to see true peace and justice for all?

Apply and Nominate for the WILPF US National Board!

 
Do you know a WILPF member whose commitment, passion, and energy would make her/him a valuable national board member? Are you this member?
Now is the time to put your best foot forward!  This is a crucial year! 
 
Inform yourself about the open positions for the board.
Nominate or inquire about running!
 
This year's elections offer an unusual opportunity to choose among a number of open board positions for terms ranging from one to three years. Nomination Deadline: September 30, 2020.
 
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 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 corporate greed and patriarchy to militarization and war.
An active WILPF is urgently needed in the peace movement!
 
Choose among the 2020 open board positions and board terms ranging from one to three years:
  • Secretary, 3-year term
  • Development Committee Chair, 1 year (of a 3-year term)
  • Nominating Committee Chair, 1 year (of a 3-year term)
  • Personnel Committee Chair, 2 years (of a 3-year term)
