CSW is looking for two to three new members to join our board in 2019 who will extend the board’s strategic and financial oversight and leadership capacity.
We look to members of our Board to work with us collaboratively to identify opportunities and foster organizational growth and transformation to meet the continually shifting economic, workforce, and education needs of our society.
Board member attributes and roles include:

- Providing advice and counsel that push the organization’s thinking about pursuing strategic impact and outcomes.
- Bringing value both to advancing the substance of our work and to the development of CSW as a non-profit organization.
- Taking ownership of the organization’s mission, goals, policies, and services.
- Providing access to networks, associations, organizations, and individuals who could be strategic partners with, funders of, and/or advisors to CSW.
Commitments required from Board members:
- Meetings – Board meetings are held quarterly; typically, two are one-day meetings in Ann Arbor and two are half-day virtual meetings.
- Committees – We have three standing board committees and expect members to serve on one of them.
- Total time commitment – Estimated to be one half day to one day/month.
