We're recruiting Board Members!
Salma Preppernau
Confluence Environmental Center is actively seeking new Board Members to join our organization! On the Board you would help us meet our mission to advance environmental equity by developing leaders in culturally responsive education, ecological restoration, and cross sector collaboration. We welcome individuals with unique experiences in our region who are willing to challenge system norms to help us build a better organization and future.
The skills and experience that would be the greatest asset to the organization at this current time are experience with:
● Fundraising in the PNW
● AmeriCorps programming
● Accounting for nonprofits (i.e. comfortable with Quickbooks)
● Practiced leaders in environmental justice principles
● Event planning
● Strategic planning
As a former Confluence Americorp member, serving on the board allows me to give back and support members and the invaluable work they do. It also has provided me the space to feel comfortable to grow and learn new professional skills that I use in my day to day work life in the non-profit sector.
- Board Treasurer
I’d describe our culture and dynamic with staff as open and collaborative. We are a small board and staff and we try our best to provide the needed support to the staff where there are gaps and guidance needed. We show up, are present, and work together with Confluence staff in our endeavors and it is always so uplifting seeing how the work and the members continue to serve and empower individuals, organizations, and communities.
- Board Secretary
For those interested in applying to join the Board of Directors, please start the process by emailing Board Co-Presidents, Adriana Lovell and Gaylen Beatty at board@confluencecenter.org with your statement of interest.
