What does your community (or communities) of influence look like?

Much of Board membership is about engaging your own personal network and community to help WABA achieve its goals. Who is in your community? How are you involved in your community? What groups could you help WABA reach? This includes activists, advocates, coalition partners, funders, decision-makers, and more. For board members beginning service in 2023, we are particularly looking for board members who live, work, or are otherwise connected to the D.C. suburbs (especially Montgomery, Prince George’s County, Alexandria, and Fairfax County) or in District wards 7 and 8.

Please share your professional background and work that you do in your community, and include any ways in which you envision that being valuable to WABA.

We are particularly looking for board members with experience and skills in financial management; and/or a track record of making change happen in your local community, particularly tackling the opportunities and challenges to creating a just transportation system.

Please describe how you can contribute to WABA fulfilling its commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism.

As part of your answer, in order to help us ensure our board is truly representative of the Washington region, we invite you to share any information about your identity that you would like us to know about, such as race, ethnicity, age, ability, LGBTQ+ status, and any other identity or status.

Please describe your experience advancing organizational governance and strategy in a collaborative environment.

Please describe your fundraising and development skills and background, as well as any previous experience you have serving on a board.

For board members beginning service in 2023, we are particularly looking for board members with past service on a board or experience in organizational management and growth; and/or with a passion for and experience with fundraising. For fundraising, we are interested in how you might help us connect to corporate donors, especially among developers, health care companies, and major corporations with a foothold in the region; foundation funders, including those focused on climate and/or equity; and/or individuals passionate about WABA’s mission with capacity for major gifts.
