Update: The preliminary deadline for applications is Monday, May 4. While we will continue to review applications and meet with interested women on a rolling basis after that, we are very interested in considering applications early to allow for an extended onboarding period.
In looking to add women to the board at the annual board meeting in July, we are committed to developing a broader talent pool and matching dedicated women with leadership opportunities. Alongside evaluating each candidate individually, we are seeking to craft a group that has a wide array of skills, interests, life experiences, and perspectives.
