Become a Board Member

When we have vacancies on our board of directors, we solicit applications for empty seats in the fall with the goal to conduct interviews in October and have a slate of candidates for a vote before the end of the calendar year. New board member orientation is in January or February. Board members can serve up to three three-year terms. Our ideal board has a wide representation of skills, perspectives and expertise and can represent a variety of segments of our community. Some seats are reserved for certain positions (for example an accountant to serve as treasurer and a lawyer for legal guidance) and sometimes we have specific skills we are seeking to help us with a particular initiative. We aim to have a diverse board full of people who care about downtown and who not only bring good ideas to the organization, they also help make them happen!
