apply to join the board of directors
Upcoming deadline to apply: April 15, 2006.
NOLOSE relies on the vitality and concern of members like you. As our organization grows and changes over the years, we like to see our leadership reflect the diversity of our communities and welcome new voices, ideas and inspiration. Board membership is an excellent way to bring your talents and skills to the fight for fat liberation and to build a vibrant fat queer community and culture.
Our November deadline for consideration within 2005 has passed. However, we will consider candidates for our next cycle, the first quarter of 2006. Our current priorities are to find qualified candidates who will:
- Add diversity to our current Board (specifically, we are seeking more diversity in terms of size, ethnicity, community connections, ability, gender and/or age);
- [at least one member] Bring accounting or professional financial experience to the Board.
We will be considering qualified applicants at our upcoming Board of Directors meeting, November 5th-6th, 2005. If any positions remain open, our next cycle of applicants will be considered in May of 2006.
- Please read our responsibilities and bylaws; then submit an application by November 3rd to be considered.
- Your application will either be accepted, returned for more information, or rejected. If your application is not accepted, an explanation will be given.
- We value all volunteers, and encourage you to volunteer and get involved at some level, as not everyone can be on the Board of Directors. It’s a matter of physics, really. If we don’t have a space for you on the Board when you initially apply, we will certainly keep in you mind for future vacancies as well as work with you to develop other meaningful volunteer opportunities for you.
Thanks again for your commitment to NOLOSE and to the fat liberation movement. We look forward to working with you!
