Dear Ebell Members:
With October comes the time for us to think about nominating new members of the Ebell Board of Directors. Each year we rotate half our board off and vote for new Board members who will bring fresh ideas and renewed spirit to our community. This is a particularly exciting time for the Ebell because for the first time in Ebell history, we have an Executive Director and her name is Stacy Brightman.
Please consider taking your seat at the table this year by nominating yourself to the Ebell Board or recommending someone you know who has skills, ideas and enthusiasm. As a board member, you will make new friends, learn about and manage the Ebell with a group of interesting and stimulating women, and work in partnership with Stacy to lead our club into a new and sensational future.
The following board positions will become open as of July 1, 2022:
President; Vice President; Treasurer; Director of Programs;
Director of Membership; Director of Governance; and Director of Development
Each board member term is for two years*. To qualify for nomination, the candidate will need to have been an Ebell member in good standing for two years as of June 30, 2022**.
The process for candidates: Read over the Job Descriptions and Expectations and Ideal Qualities of Ebell Board Members; Fill out and submit an Application Form; and have one ZOOM meeting with two or three members of the Nominating Committee to discuss why you want to serve and your qualifications.
