NOW Is a Crucial Time
WILPF needs a full board as we navigate these historic times. Our unique outlook links corporate greed and patriarchy to militarization and war.  WILPF is urgently needed in the peace movement!

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.
  • Enjoyment of working relationships with other intelligent, energetic, and talented people  like yourself.
  • Being a part of change!
