ECOSLO Board Member - Business Community/Chamber of Commerce Liaison

Save to Favorites

The Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo (ECOSLO) seeks volunteer Board Members to join in the leadership of our organization - specifically someone who would be willing to be a liaison to the business community and Chamber of Commerces. Currently, ECOSLO has eight Board members.

We are looking for individuals who are committed to environmental advocacy for the San Luis Obispo County natural environment. ECOSLO works to advocate for the environment and supports or works with other groups to do the same. We also host regular beach cleanups, city and county trail work days, and docent-led hikes about education for everyone to be stewards of the earth. We have a number of local business connections already, but we'd like to build on this and ensure we have a good connection with businesses - especially those wanting to be more environmentally conscious.

We are currently in need of Board members willing to be active and support this nearly 50-year-old community based organization. Board meetings are held once a month. This board position would specifically attend Chamber events, connect with local businesses for sponsorship, and work closely with the ECOSLO Executive Director. Average time commitment for board service is four to eight hours per month (2 hours for monthly board meetings, plus events, committee meetings, and follow up).

We are also encouraging volunteers with background in any of these areas to apply:

• Financial (or basic comfortability with reviewing/reporting on financials, analyzing/preparing budgets)
• Event Planning & Fundraising
• Marketing & Media - online & print

We hope you will consider learning more about being an ECOSLO volunteer board member! Please contact us for more information at programs@ecoslo.org or 805-544-1777.
