Join our board

We currently have one board seat open. Apply today.

Our by-laws define the number of board positions we have, which is currently at 11. One board term is a 3-year commitment, renewable once for a total of 6 years of service.

For continuity and visioning, our goal is that board members fulfill their terms, which are staggered. We recognize that we are stronger with diverse life and work experiences represented on the board. To that end, we encourage applicants who represent differences from current board members in any of the following areas: role/job in the industry, geographic location, sexual orientation, gender identity, race or ethnicity, skill set ability, and age to name a few.
