The Children's
Museum, Seattle is actively looking to grow our Board of Trustees. The Trustees
on this governing board play an important role in advancing the organizational
mission, advising the leadership team, and raising funds for future
development.
We are looking to expand the Board with experienced and passionate
individuals. Experience in fundraising, marketing, early childhood education,
finance and human resources are desired. Candidates with deep ties to the Puget
Sound region's corporate and philanthropic communities are especially encouraged to apply.
Most Board Members bring significant (10-15 years or more) professional
experience to the role.
To be considered for the Board, candidates must have prior nonprofit board
experience, experience in and comfort with fundraising, and a connection to the
mission of early childhood development. Trustees are asked to commit to attend board meetings and actively participate on at least one committee (alternating monthly meetings), support the
organization's fundraising activities and make a personal annual gift to the
museum.
In addition to the traditional slate of trustees, we are also opening up one
position on the board for a member-at-large. We are looking to fill this
position with an individual from the museum's membership base. The
member-at-large position will have a shorter term, and flexibility with the
fundraising commitments.
