Board Member Interest Form

Instructions for nominator

Thanks for helping our board remain well-filled! If we're at the point in the board election process where we need nominees, you can use this form to help your nominee introduce herself to the council (which does the electing). Please be sure that the nominee emails the filled-out form to the council at least a couple of days before the introductory meeting, and let them know that they are encouraged to come to that meeting in order to introduce themselves to the community council. You may also wish to email the council a note of support/nomination/recommendation so we know why you thought of this person and what you feel her strengths are.

Instructions for nominee

Hi! Before declaring your intention to run for Free Geek board, you may wish to look at our New Director Agreement and possibly even talk to one of the current board members about the responsibilities and limitations of our board, which is structurally somewhat unique.

Our Board of Directors is elected by the Community Council, a governing body consisting of Free Geek staff and volunteers who are responsible for developing and overseeing Free Geek's goals and vision. This nomination form is your introduction to that body. We also set aside much of the Council meeting the month before the election for nominees to introduce themselves to the Council and to ask and answer questions - we highly encourage you to come and meet the Council and the current board members (who will be at that meeting).
