2023 Call for New Board Members
Amanda Ann Klein
Dear CP Community,
Over the past 2 years, CP has been working hard to expand the breadth and composition of its board and to its governing structure to make sure workloads are more equitable and codified. We issued our first call for new board members last year and added 7 new amazing members. With this new roster of board members, some of our longest serving board members can finally step down and pursue other opportunities.
We believe that healthy for both the org and its members to have term limit and so with that, we are now excited to announce that we are seeking 3 new board members.
We ask that you share the attached Call widely in your networks!
Application Process
Please answer the following questions in writing (answers can be up to 250 words each):
1. How does Feminist Media Studies, as a discipline, inform your professional life? In other words, do you teach, write, research, create, and/or do service in the field?
2. What has been your experience thus far with CP, either as a conference attendee, a participant in a virtual event, or in some other form?
3. What skills, ideas, and aptitudes would you bring to the board? (Note: we are particularly in need of board members with expertise in website management, technology, fundraising, and social media.)
4. Please look over the “CP Board Member Responsibilities and Expectations.” After reading through this list, how do you understand the mission of the organization? What visions would you like to realize as a new board member?
Submit these answers plus a 100-word bio by November 1, 2023 to consolein...@gmail.com. Please put “Board Member Application” in the subject line.
