Nominations for the WILD National Board of Directors is now extended through October 1st! The original board established in Summer 2021 has grown WILD into an organization who can support our mission, chapters, and missions nation wide. Together we have achieved monumental milestones, including incorporating as a non-profit! Now, WE NEED YOUR HELP to keep the growth growing for future generations.⁠
⁠
All WILD members are eligible to run, and most positions only require ~10 hours of commitment per month. If you have enjoyed working with your local chapter or even if you’re brand new to WILD, you’re qualified! Nominate yourself or someone you think would shine — especially if they are passionate about volunteering for something with a passionate mission.⁠ If you nominate someone else, we will double check they’re up for it.
We are excited to announce our Inaugural Sponsors for the 2022 – 2023 year! These sponsors play an integral part in helping WILD finalize our official nonprofit status and set up formal systems to expand our current programming and outreach. We are grateful for their support on the International level as we continue to grow our positive influence and impact. Thank you!
