A healthy, vibrant, participatory and functional Board of Directors is critical to the long term stability and effective governance of American Whitewater. This requires Directors with a passion for our mission and a mix of appropriate skills to help guide AW and meet the challenges we face, both now and in the future.
While we will consider all qualified candidates, we are specifically searching for candidates that represent all parts of the country, have the ability to show up for meetings and add valuable skills to the board. Prior nonprofit experience is helpful.
Due to the limited number of Board seats available, not all nominees will appear on the recommended slate of candidates presented to the membership for vote this fall. If you are selected as a final candidate the nominating committee will notify you prior to the election.
Please carefully review the Board of Directors Recruitment Information Package. This package explains the role and responsibility of a Director, the required qualifications, the necessary commitment and the process by which Director’s are nominated and elected to serve.
If you are interested in serving a volunteer AW Director please complete the Board Nomination Form and Questionnaire. You can obtain an electronic copy of this form and the Board of Directors Recruitment Information Package on our website at: Our Organization > Board of Directors > Recruitment Information Package. The completed Nomination Form and Questionnaire, two (2) letters of recommendation and a high resolution digital photo are due to the nominating committee by July 1. Please email the required information to Mark Singleton with a subject heading of "BOD Response."
If you have any questions or wish to discuss any aspect of the nomination process please contact Mark Singleton, AW’s Executive Director.
