OWREN is governed by a Board of Directors. Each OWREN Director is an unpaid volunteer who donates a significant amount of their personal time to OWREN. The OWREN Board is a 'working Board'. Each Director must also serve on a committee and works to ensure that OWREN is able to deliver its programs and conferences for members. The commitment of time for Directors (including both Board and committee duties) is estimated to be 6-8+ hours per week. The most significant time contribution required of OWREN Directors is delivered in the months preceding the annual OWREN conference. You must have a significant amount of free time available between May and February of each year for conference planning duties.
The Board is always receptive to applications from individuals who feel that they have the skills and the time to contribute to the organization. Candidates for this position should be self-motivated and professional. The Board seeks candidates with proven experience in any the following areas:
Because OWREN's Directors reside throughout the province, the use of today's technology is our most balanced approach for conducting our business. Each Director must have a reliable computer, be computer literate, familiar with Microsoft software applications, PDF documents, and have dependable high speed access to the Internet.
Directors must be members of OWREN in good standing, and are elected by the membership. Each application must be accompanied by a signed letter from two OWREN members (in good standing) indicating why each feels the applicant is qualified. All applications are carefully considered based on the skills and ability of the applicant to help the Board achieve its goals.
If you believe you have the time to make a serious commitment to OWREN, and skills that you are willing to put to use to assist the Board in achieving its goals, please send an email to: info (at) owren-online.org and request an application for Board membership. We'd love to hear from you!
If you just want to volunteer to serve on one of OWREN's subcommittees, we'd be happy to put you to work. Contact us!
