YWCA USA Board Calls for Board Member Nominations
Serving on the YWCA USA Board of Directors is an extraordinary opportunity for strategic and future-focused leaders who are passionate about YWCA USA’s mission and vision. The primary role of the YWCA USA Board of Directors is to provide mission-based visionary leadership and strategic governance to promote the services and support provided. At YWCA, our mission is to eliminate racism and empower women. So every day, we get up and do the work of justice both nationally and in more than one thousand communities nationwide.
The YWCA USA Board of Directors consists of no fewer than 11 and no more than 25 individuals, of which the bylaws require 20% to be affiliated with a local YWCA by compensated employment or volunteer service.
The Governance Committee reviews all applications submitted, schedules interviews, as appropriate, and prepares a slate of recommended board candidates for approval by the full Board. Once the slate is approved by the YWCA USA Board of Directors, it is presented to the Local Associations for a vote.
Although applications to the YWCA USA Board may be submitted to the Governance Committee at any time, completed application forms for consideration in conjunction with the June 2020 Annual Business Meeting must be submitted by the close of business on Friday, January 31, 2020.
