Looking for great new Board members to help shape our future!

This is the time of year when we invite passionate, strategic, and community-minded folks to apply to join our Board of Directors. One of the hallmarks of a well-run board is having members who provide diversity in terms of skill sets, backgrounds, and lived experiences. As we continue to grow, we are looking for up to two dedicated individuals to help steer our mission and ensure we are representative of the community we serve.

While we have a specific need for people who have backgrounds in facilities management, construction, or engineering, or are residents of Wheeling or Wheeling business owners with community connections, all are welcome to apply and will be interviewed!

We would appreciate everyone’s help in thinking about potential candidates and sharing the application information with them, which can be found here. The Governance Committee will also be targeting relevant associations (e.g., the Wheeling Chamber of Commerce), but word of mouth is always a great way to reach people!

All applications are due by Sunday, March 15th, after which the Governance Committee will review the applications, invite all candidates for interviews, and recommend a slate to the full Board for approval. Those selected for the slate will be notified by late April and will be presented to the full shelter membership for a vote at the Annual Meeting on Monday, May 11th (save the date!!).

Please forward this information to anyone who is qualified or may be interested (maybe it’s you!). For questions, please contact Board President, C.J. Sultz.
