Join The Tacoma Tool Library Board of Directors!
Do you love the idea of a community based, not-for-profit tool lending library? Are you passionate about our mission? A group of dedicated volunteers are responsible for the financial health and program quality of Tacoma Tool Library (TTL). Learn more about our mission at About – Tacoma Tool Library
We are seeking qualified and motivated individuals to fill open seats on the TTL board.
Below are the three main skills we are looking for:
- Financial management
- Fund development
- Nonprofit governance
The main board member responsibilities include:
- Attend monthly board meetings, having read that month’s board packet ahead of the meeting. Meetings are in-person with an online option as needed.
- Participate in one of the following sub-committees: Finance, Governance, Operations or Marketing & Communications. Most committees meet monthly online.
- 4–8 hours a month time commitment
In aligning with our mission, we expect TTL to be a welcoming and inclusive place, particularly for groups who are not traditionally encouraged to use tools. People from historically marginalized communities are welcome and encouraged to join our board.
