We’re Looking for a Few New Board Members for 2023
Written by Lori Danielson
Eastside Audubon is seeking four new board members in the next few months. Being on the board is a great opportunity to meet new people and support an important environmental conservation voice on the Eastside. Our current board is a very welcoming group and works well together to advance the work we all care about and support our staff and volunteers. We have a great mix of people who really care about birds, the environment, and our organization.
Diversity on the board is really important to us, so we’re looking for candidates of all ages, backgrounds, cultures and neighborhoods, as well as younger professionals.
The board positions that we’re looking to fill include:
Birding
Community Outreach
Volunteer Coordination
Financial Development
We have job descriptions for each of these positions and can provide those on request.
Besides the board chair positions, we have other open projects for volunteers too, including coordinating our program night speakers, citizen science, holiday gift wrap event, and our Birdathon fundraiser, among others.
We’ll be holding an online open house to talk about volunteer openings on Monday, September 12th at 7 p.m. via Zoom. In it, we’ll talk about the organization, the open positions, and we’ll answer questions.
If you’re interested or know someone who might fit the bill, register here to get the Zoom link for the virtual open house.
