Join Kadima's Board of Directors
2-year terms begin every January, and additionally the board may appoint any member to vacant seats. Nominate yourself or another now! |
Board members:
Board officers include President, Vice President(s) (1-3), Treasurer, and Secretary. Each board member is expected to serve as committee chair or board liaison for a segment of Kadima’s work. Board members can expect to spend an average of 4 hours per month on board duties, in addition to the board meetings. Officers generally spend additional time on their duties. The board meets once a month for 3 hours, and 2-3 times a year for longer mini retreats. The next retreat will be scheduled for for a weekend in February based on the availability of new board members. Board membership is a rewarding and meaningful way to engage with our Kadima community! We have a lot of exciting work this year, including moving toward deeper alignment with our values of anti-racism and disability justice, developing our member engagement and retention strategies, and most of all, making sure we have the resources to keep our community thriving. Board membership is an exciting opportunity to use your creativity to support our community, and to work collaboratively and learn alongside other Kadimaniks and outside partners. If you are potentially interested in running or want to find out more information about the board, we encourage you to contact the Board President team (President, Julianna Alson and Vice President Sima Kahn) at prez@kadima.org.
