Apply or nominate now for the 2021 national board elections!

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

Nomination deadline — October 10, 11 pm local time
Application deadline — October 15, 10 pm local time
    
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.

We also invite WILPF members to a wide range of participation at the national level!  If you — or someone you’ve talked with, because you wanted to nominate them — are not ready to be a candidate this year for the national board, we welcome your involvement in other national-level committees.  Support WILPF’s work in diverse areas while you learn more about the functioning of the national organization. For further details on other national committees and roles, please contact Darien De Lu, President — President@wilpfus.org — or any other board member!
 
Do you know of someone who could be a valuable board member and gain leadership experience and other benefits? 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: Sunday, October 10, 2021.
