Interested in becoming an OWLS Board Member?
Each spring, the OWLS Board of Directors will have openings. If you have played a leadership role with an OWLS chapter, committee, or other affinity bar organization, and are interested in serving on the OWLS Board in support of the OWLS mission, please consider serving on the board. Board members provide financial oversight, strategic direction, fundraising, and help to shape the future of OWLS programs and policies. The OWLS Board is an active board.
Board elections occur in April, with new members taking office May 1 for a three-year term. Meetings are held approximately eight times a year and members are limited to two three-year terms.
OWLS Board member applications are now accepted on an ongoing basis. OWLS seeks candidates for annual recruitment, as well as for consideration in the event of an unexpected opening. Candidates may be appointed mid-term to fill a board vacancy.
Please complete this statement of interest and send your current resume to OWLS President Jessica Price, at [email protected].
