Are you based near Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound and looking to get more involved in your community? Are you inspired to become a steward of the beautiful place you call home? Are you looking for a way to contribute your skills to the critical work of a local organization?
You’re in luck!
My Sea to Sky is recruiting new board members ready to guide one of British Columbia’s most innovative, values-driven, advocacy organizations.
Named out of our commitment to Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound, My Sea to Sky is a community driven by a shared love of place. We bring local citizens together to work on the urgent challenges facing our home.
We organize educational events; coordinate research; build partnerships; lift up Indigenous voices and culture; and facilitate public engagement with our municipal, provincial, and federal governments. We aim to inspire our community to become stewards of Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound, and empower people to take action at critical moments.
The My Sea to Sky Board follows a Policy Governance model. In addition to the quarterly board meetings, there is an expectation that Board members will contribute to committees according to their individual skills, and will particularly support fundraising.
We are seeking expressions of interest for our Board of Directors for a June 2024 – June 2026 term who:
- Have board governance experience (bonus points for policy governance experience).
- Live in the Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound watershed, or have a connection to the area.
- Have the capacity to participate in quarterly board meetings, and 3–4 hours of board work per month.
- Are passionate about inspiring and empowering British Columbians to safeguard the spectacular natural legacy of Átl’ka7tsem / Howe Sound.
Read the Position Description for more information, including how to apply.
Expressions of interest close 5pm PDT, May 12, 2024.
We look forward to hearing from you.
