Board Member Description

Since 1981 the Utah Society for Environmental Education (USEE) has encouraged environmental literacy by teaching Utahns how to think, not what to think, about the environment. This small but powerful organization is in need of board members who are passionate about the environment, education and our beautiful state.

We are looking for innovators and individuals looking to make a difference in their community. As a USEE Board Member you will be instrumental in growing this organization for years to come, helping to solve organizational problems and committing to ensuring children and adults have access to quality environmental education and literacy programs.

While Board Members are asked to give a financial contribution that is significant to them, this is a working board. Beyond giving and attendance at meetings, Board Members should be able to contribute their time and talents to making USEE a sustainable organization.

To be considered, or for more information, please contact Thom Benedict, director@usee.org .
