Join us! We are seeking new board members
The WasteShed Board
The WasteShed is also currently in the process of filling four Board seats beginning in February of 2023. In light of many of the organizational changes happening at the WasteShed (we have opened a new store and moved our flagship store!), we would like this to be an open and transparent process and welcome folks who are interested, have the time and capacity to support us during a time of transition, and have gifts and skills we could use to complete our board team.
We are seeking board members who bring a diversity of perspectives (arts/education/community-based/organizational support) and diverse identities (gender/race/ability/age/economic status) and have time and capacity to put into doing work (this board is a working board!) and have gifts and skills to share in one or more of the following areas:
· Familiarity with organizational finance systems
· Familiarity with technological infrastructure
· Familiarity with Media/Marketing
· Familiarity with Re-use market/ Sales
· Connections or familiarity with the Chicago philanthropic community or ability to support the WasteShed’s development efforts,
· Connections with CPS Educators or CTU.
Board terms are two years long and members can serve two terms before rotating off the Board. Please learn more about the role here. Our monthly meetings are 1.5 hours long and held once a month, but we expect board members spend about 5-7 hours a month supporting the organization.
If you are interested, or know someone we should consider, please fill out this brief interest form no later than 1/21/23 and we will follow up with you.
Thank you,
The WasteShed Board
