Board of Directors

GeekGirlCon is searching for action-oriented individuals with experience in finance and analytics to join our board of directors. Please contact BDC@geekgirlcon.com for more information.

Roles & Responsibilities

The board of directors defines and guides our mission, establishes priorities, crafts strategies, and ensures that plans and programs are implemented. A big part of this work involves active engagement on one of our board committees, such as Fundraising, Board Development, or Strategic Planning. The primary day-to-day operations are delegated to our Executive Director and volunteer staff.

Board Directors are extensively involved in GeekGirlCon’s fundraising efforts. Directors are expected to spread the word about GeekGirlCon’s work, use their connections to gain access to potential donors, actively participate in fundraising campaigns, and when financially feasible, make their own donations. They also may be involved behind-the-scenes in fund development or directly solicit for donations.

If you wish to be considered as a candidate for the Board of Directors, please fill out our application located here: GeekGirlCon BOD Application . A member of the Board Development Committee will be in touch to discuss the position further.
