• The first regular WWTLC board elections were be held in 4th quarter 2019, for the term beginning January 2020. Board members will be elected, by a 50% +1 simple majority vote by the board, to three-year terms on a rotational basis in order to preserve continuity of the organization.
  • Board positions may be added mid-term by appointment that is approved by a 50% +1 majority vote by the board, or during the regular annual elections cycle. Once the regular election cycle commences, the board of directors will accept nominations for open director positions from within committees.
  • Our community is rich with brilliant, savvy women, and our strengths are compounded exponentially when we work together. We seek the input and involvement of women from our diverse community for volunteering first on a working committee and later seeking election to the board of directors.
  • Members of the community who wish to volunteer their time and talent by serving on the WWTLC board of directors will be required to first serve as a volunteer on one of the working committees. This will allow interested candidates to explore the work of WWTLC, including time commitments and work content, before committing to serving a full term on the board. If you are interested in volunteering on a committee, please e-mail us at info@wwtlc.org.
  • Candidates seeking election to a board position will be vetted to assure they are aligned with the values of WWTLC and have demonstrated a commitment to working for the rights and autonomy of women and girls.
  • Board members are limited to serving two consecutive terms in the same position. After serving two consecutive terms in the same position, a board member may seek election to a different position, if desired.
  • What about vacancies that occur before the end of a term?
    • The bylaws provide for filling board vacancies that occur before the end of a term.
    • With the exception of the position of president (which would be filled through succession of the vice president), if a board position becomes vacant, it will be filled by appointment that is approved by a 50% +1 majority vote to complete the remainder of the term.
    • Complete details of WWTLC’s legal structure and board are contained in our bylaws.
