Call for Nominations to Board of Directors

The Nominating Committee is looking for candidates who can offer leadership, insight and show commitment to pursuing UWEO’s goal of making a measurable impact in the community.

A Board member is also expected to contribute to UWEO’s annual campaign, to attend and participate in board meetings, events and activities as well as participate in committee work of the Board.

Each year the Nominating Committee reviews the structure, composition and balance of skills and experience of the Board. The Committee seeks qualified candidates to put their names forward for nomination with a view of aspiring to a Board that is reflective of the community it serves.

UWEO welcomes nominations any time before May 20th, 2025, for the Committee’s consideration. However, to ensure that every nominee receives full consideration, we encourage you to submit nominations as soon as possible.
