As SOAH enters its third year, and in compliance with our by-laws, we are seeking Board Member candidates (3 Board Seats will be open). Become a part of our team and push to promote our "Hate Has No Home Here" campaign.

 

Being a board member of Speak Out Against Hate (SOAH) can provide benefits both to the individual serving and to the organization. SOAH’s mission is particularly community-focused: bringing together community leaders, businesses, elected officials, clergy, law enforcement, schools and residents to address and counter hate in Delaware.

 

We're looking for people who want to use their experience, relationships and ideas to make a difference in Delaware.


Make a meaningful community impact
Help shape programs, education, outreach and advocacy that directly affect the community.

 

Have a voice in the organization’s direction
Board members help establish priorities, strategy and future initiatives rather than simply volunteering at individual events.

 

Build relationships with community leaders
SOAH works with elected officials, law enforcement, businesses, educators, faith leaders and other nonprofits, giving board members opportunities to develop valuable relationships across the community.

 

Use your professional experience for a cause
Members can contribute expertise in business, communications, finance, education, law, public safety, fundraising, technology or community relations.

 

Develop leadership and governance experience
Serving on a nonprofit board provides practical experience with strategic planning, organizational governance, budgeting, fundraising and decision-making. Nonprofit boards have genuine fiduciary and oversight responsibilities.

 

Expand your personal and professional network
Board service naturally connects people from different professions, backgrounds and organizations. Diverse professional and community connections can also make the organization itself stronger.

 

Become an ambassador for an important cause
Board members can help bring SOAH's message to organizations and communities that might otherwise never become involved. Advocacy and serving as an ambassador are recognized as important nonprofit board functions.

Leave a lasting impact
Board members have an opportunity to help build an organization, programs and partnerships that can continue well beyond their individual term.

 

Your commitment will involve, on average:
• 2 meetings per month

• Attendance at our bi-monthly Community Meetings (no summer community mtgs)

• Board member positions are a 3yr position

• Facilitate and/or be a member of one of the five Action Groups
