International Alliance for Women in Music
Board Member Search
We’re looking for engaged members, dedicated to supporting and advancing awareness of women’s music, to help shape the future of this organization.
IAWM is looking for Board Members
If you are still feeling the excitement and energy from the recent IAWM Conference, we hope you will consider joining the IAWM board! You can self-nominate or perhaps someone else can nominate you, too (however, you must be willing to accept this nomination!).
We are looking for additional board members that are ready to help actively grow IAWM and advocate for women in music – on a global scale! We are interested in working with a diverse team of individuals that recognize the importance of cultural and community based service and development and that represent a variety of practices, skill sets, knowledge, personal histories, identities, and careers! This year we are especially seeking board members to help with marketing, finance, advocacy, awards, development and membership recruitment.
IAWM is committed to change, equity, diversity, community, and inclusive actions on behalf of all members of our global 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.
