Leadership Opportunities

Published on July, 38 2012

Do you like what WILPF is doing and have ideas about how to further its growth and improve its effectiveness? WILPF is exceptional among non-governmental organizations for the number and variety of opportunities it makes available for its members to involve themselves in its leadership at the national and international levels. That’s because our members are our organization, and our organization’s effectiveness depends—in every way—on the quality of our members.

Interested members are invited to apply for the following leadership positions:  

  • National Board Members

Are you an activist who wants to shape and develop WILPF at the national level? Spread your leadership wings: Consider running for one of the seven open board positions. We need candidates who can  develop respectful working relationships with sister board members and participate in WILPF US deliberations on policy, budget, and other issues.  We seek special qualities of passion, clear sightedness, and leadership abilities.

  • Mini-Grant Monitoring Committee

You can help the Program work of WILPF US by assisting on the national Mini-Grant Application and Monitoring Committees.  Work can include following applications from first submission, helping people make their applications more acceptable and workable, working out budgets and defining the project.

We especially seek volunteers with some background in strategic planning and/or organizing of issue-related campaigns or projects as well as volunteers with some experience in grant applications or grant writing or project budgeting experience.  Attention to detail is also very helpful.  However, all volunteers with an interest in supporting WILPF US program efforts and giving useful input to grant applicants are encouraged to consider applying.  For further information, please contact either or both of the Program Chairs for further information (see http://wilpfus.org/about/current-national-board/board-directors) or contact Nominating Committee at nominations@wilpfus.org.
