Help Us Lead the Way: Board Director Recruitment
We’re seeking enthusiastic members to join our board of directors. Board service is rewarding and impactful, helping set our chapter’s direction and ensuring our mission to promote native plants and sustainable landscapes. We welcome fresh perspectives and diverse backgrounds. Our election will be held in November, and new board terms will begin January 2026.
Plus! Committee Chairs and Members Needed!
We’re also recruiting for three committees now. Time commitments are flexible.
- Communications Committee: Assist with blog posts, newsletters, social media, and website updates.
 - Membership Committee: Welcome new members and support existing ones. Meet with the public during tabling events.
 - Program Committee: Plan and organize educational programs, workshops, and field trips.
 
Your contributions will make a real difference. Whether you chair a committee or join as a member, you’ll work alongside friendly, enthusiastic volunteers and gain valuable skills.
