Earth Science Women’s Network Recruiting for Board and Associate Board of
Directors

The Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN) is recruiting multiple volunteer
leadership positions, to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors (BoD) and
Associate Board of Directors (ABD). ESWN is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization dedicated to increasing diversity in the geosciences with an
emphasis on creating and supporting a nurturing community, working for
cultural change to eliminate barriers to a diverse scientific workforce,
and empowering scientists through professional development. The primary
duties of the BoD are to oversee and manage the fiscal responsibilities of
the organization. The BoD also contributes to strategic planning, building
partnerships, volunteer engagement, and communicating the impacts of ESWN
to the broader public. Associate Board of Directors serve as volunteer
Chairs of committees and support the long-term vision of ESWN to change
culture and institutions in the geosciences, to advance equity, justice,
inclusivity, and community. Chairs are responsible for managing volunteers
to fulfill the duties of each committee, or performing those activities
themselves, and contributing to overall planning of ESWN development. The
Associate Board (ABD) meets monthly, and works closely together on
activities that cross multiple committees. For more information about
ESWN’s activities, goals, and structure, please review our newly released
Strategic Plan (LINK).

Interested members of ESWN are encouraged to apply to any and all positions
that interest them. All applicants should have a demonstrated commitment to
improving diversity and inclusion. We particularly encourage early career
geoscientists and geoscientists working outside or adjacent to academia.
Candidates from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds including
LGBTQ people, people of color, and members of other underrepresented
communities are strongly encouraged to apply.
