Split This Rock Board of Directors
Seeking new members
Application deadline: November 9, 2012
Split
This Rock calls poets to the center of public life and fosters a
national network of socially engaged poets. From our home in the
nation's capital we celebrate poetic diversity and the transformative
power of the imagination. All of Split This Rock's programs are designed
to integrate poetry of provocation and witness into public life and
support the poets who write and perform this critical work.
Split
This Rock is seeking dynamic, committed, social justice-oriented
individuals with a love of poetry to join our Board of Directors for the
2013-2015 calendar years. This is a unique opportunity to shape the
future of a thriving organization at the intersection of poetry and
social change.
We
currently have four openings on the Board, including a Treasurer
position. Board terms are two years. Split This Rock seeks to ensure
diversity on the Board consistent with our core values, and
encourages candidates of color, LGBTQ candidates, and people with
disabilities to apply. We are particularly looking for board members
with legal, technology, and/or fundraising experience.
The
Board is a "working board" which means that Board members are expected
to support the general management of the organization in addition to
being responsible for and/or assisting in various programming activities
(including Split This Rock's biennial festival), fundraising, donor
cultivation, and strategic planning efforts. Additionally, Board members are expected to participate on a committees (formal and ad-hoc) in addition to full board meetings. The Board meets quarterly,
and Board membership is estimated to involve a minimum of 4-6 hours per
month.
If
you are interested in serving on the board, please submit your
curriculum vitae or resumé and a letter of interest outlining your
desire to serve on the Board to info@splitthisrock.org by November 9, 2012.
Please make sure you include contact information. A member of the
Nominations Committee will contact you to discuss your interest and
answer any questions you may have.
