IAWM is looking for Board Members
We are looking for additional board members who are dedicated to supporting and advancing awareness of women’s music. We are excited to have you help shape the future of this organization.
We are interested in working with a diverse team of individuals from a variety of musical interests, specialties, and in various aspects and levels of their careers! As a volunteer board, we are especially seeking board members with skills in fundraising, marketing, website technology, finance, global initiatives, equity, advocacy, awards, membership and relationship building. The 2023 IAWM Concerts take place in Madison Wisconson, USA and Antwerp, Belgium. Be part of the growth and expansion of IAWM. We are committed to equitable diversity and inclusion of all members of the musical community. See more at https://iawm.org/about-us
This is a very involved board, and we need folks that understand that they will need to carve time out to help with developments and activities of this organization. All labor is conducted through volunteer efforts. If you are willing to donate a minimum of 5-10 hours of active service per month (depending on your role), we need your selfless service. It is required that all board members must remotely attend at least 3 board meetings per year (Fall, Winter, Spring). Attending these meetings are critical, as we need you there to help us carry out this important work, and make it possible for music to be an equitable, diverse and inclusive field.
