Would you or someone you know like to be considered for a leadership position at the only grassroots environmental advocacy group focused solely on conserving Western North Carolina’s natural heritage?
We are looking for candidates to fill four positions on the board of this newly merged organization that includes the Western North Carolina Alliance (WNCA), the Environmental and Conservation Organization (ECO), and the Jackson Macon Conservation Alliance (JMCA) beginning Jan. 1, 2015.
Board members ensure that the organization continues to be well managed and remains fiscally sound. Members also support the organization by raising money, bringing contacts to the organization and acting as ambassadors to the community.
We are seeking candidates who:
- Bring geographic and much-needed racial diversity to the composition of our leadership
- Are well networked in the community
- Are strategic thinkers
- Have skills and experience that will benefit the organization especially in accounting/finance, fundraising, communications, and legal
- Will commit the necessary time (i.e. attend bi-monthly meetings, serve on subcommittees and attend events)
