Board of Director Opportunity with CUB WI

[Lisa Geason-Bauer]

Hello WI Women in Sustainability - 

I wanted to share an opportunity from the Citizens Utility Board of Wisconsin (WI nonprofit)  with all of you, they are currently recruiting candidates for their board of directors.  They have their membership elections in early summer and the board position would begin in July.  As the price of utility bills continues to grow the work that CUB is doing becomes even more important, please consider this opportunity and/or feel free to share it with any of your contacts.

Thanks 

Lisa
