Volunteer: Filling voting board member positions within chapterOur chapter is actively looking for several key leadership positions / new voting board members coming up in 2020. These leadership position needs are as follows: Women's Initiative Co-Leader (board position) The mission of TU’s Diversity Initiative is to create effective strategies and programs to recruit a more diverse membership profile in TU; encourage diversity within leadership at the chapter, state and national levels; and to ensure every chapter creates a welcoming environment for TU members of different genders, ethnicity, ages, and cultures to achieve the TU conservation mission. Many chapters may choose to appoint a women’s initiative coordinator, a youth education coordinator and/or a veterans services partnership coordinator to work on these unique initiatives. Some have found value in appointing someone to the umbrella role of diversity coordinator, such that someone is responsible for driving the chapter’s diversity goals forward on a broad level. The Women’s Initiative (WI) Chapter Coordinator provides opportunities for women to engage with TU locally, demonstrating TU’s leadership development. Guided by “the Women’s Initiative Leadership Best Practices – Position Task List & Responsibilities,” the Chapter Coordinator recruits new women members, engages them in TU’s mission, facilitates their retention, and promotes them in leadership roles. This individual actively develops or enhances women’s events at the chapter level, initiates new programs to provide meaningful engagement opportunities for women, facilitates membership drives to increase women membership, and communicates directly to women in the chapter. Once appointed or elected by the chapter board, the WI Chapter Coordinator will have access to all educational/event materials available from the National Leadership Council’s Women’s Initiative Workgroup, support from the Workgroup including access to experienced women in this role, as well as other operational resources found in the online Tacklebox and membership rosters and reports in the Leaders Only Tools section of tu.org. The WI Chapter Coordinator is encouraged to develop an annual WI Plan for the chapter, along with an associated budget. In this annual planning effort, the WI Chapter Coordinator, would be supported by the WI State Coordinator and all resources and shared experience available through the NLC’s Women’s Initiative Workgroup.
Feel free to reach out with any interest in or questions about these positions. Our best contact point is our email, northsountu@gmail.com. Cheers and thanks for looking!

Volunteer: Looking to fill non-voting leadership team rolesThere are several positions within our leadership team that will be supportive to our board and instrumental in the operation of our nonprofit moving forward. These positions do not have the same level of commitment as our voting board members do, but definitely help the function of our organization! These positions include (but are not limited) to the following: Chapter Membership Chair Many chapters appoint a membership chair whose duties include tracking the membership of the chapter, welcoming new members and encouraging existing members to renew their membership. For many of TU’s fastest growing chapters, the membership chair has taken on a more proactive role of developing and implementing a new member recruitment plan and engaging current members often by being the friendly and familiar face of the leadership at chapter events. The membership chair performs the key role in helping current members resolve membership issues, maintain member’s contact information, and communicates changes or issues with member records with TU national staff. The membership chair also tracks membership numbers within the chapter (using the roster and membership reports found within the Leaders Only Tools), welcomes new members who join, and follows up with members who have not renewed. Beyond tracking these statistics, the membership chair takes the lead on programs to recruit new members. Chapter Meeting Coordinator This leadership position will help coordinate monthly events / meetings and act as a point person between President, Secretary, and Media Relations chair. Duties in this position include reaching out to potential guest speakers to help schedule presentations and coordinate with venues for monthly chapter events. Often this information needs to be shared to both Secretary and Media Relations chair in order to send out newsletters and update social media with calendar events as plans are solidified. This person will also help setup for these meetings and breakdown after
