Help recruit candidates for 2016 board
Darien De Lu, Elections Subcommittee
This year is an unusually good time to run for the WILPF US board, so who among your WILPF contacts could advance WILPF US and discover the personal value of board work?
The election this year offers a wider range of choices for potential candidates — both a large number of board openings and a variety of board terms. Here are the positions and terms coming up for election:
Complete three-year term positions
- At-large Board Member (does not chair any board standing committee)
- Development Committee Chair
- Nominating Committee Chair
- President
Positions filling in the remaining two years of a term
- At-large Board Member (does not chair any board standing committee)
- Program Committee Chair
Position filling in the remaining one year of a term
- Treasurer/Finance Committee Chair, elected to complete the final year of the current three-year term;
You can nominate a WILPFer for any of these positions or you can apply yourself. We’ve simplified the basic application form. Each applicant will need two WILPF-US members in good standing to provide recommendations. Additionally, applicants must be current WILPF US members in good standing (dues-paying, pledging, Life Member) for at least two years (24 months)
The deadline for all application materials is Sunday, January 24, 2016. The deadline for nominations is Sunday, January 10, 2016. Submitting the forms earlier is strongly recommended.
Find out about how to nominate someone and what additional application materials are required by emailing nominations@wilpfus.org.

Specific board job descriptions will be available in a special members-only e-Alert in the coming week!
