We’re looking for new volunteers to join our board for the upcoming season! If you’re interested in joining a passionate team to improve access to winter backcountry recreation, you can expect to volunteer up to 10 hours per month.
Our short application only takes 15 minutes to complete. Applications are due by September 30th.
What You Gain as a Board Member
As a young and growing organization, we’re hoping to add up to four new volunteer board members based in Washington to join our already strong team. We know there are many members in our community who want to dedicate themselves to making a positive difference on winter backcountry access, and we’d love to have you apply.
Benefits of serving on the CBA board include:
Having your voice be heard on timely and important issues that impact backcountry recreation access
Gaining experience working with regional and local land managers and advocacy groups
Meeting and collaborating with other passionate members of the backcountry community
The opportunity to help grow a dynamic organization where you can make a direct and meaningful impact
Who We’re Looking For
While we all enjoy spending time outside in the winter, being an advanced recreationist is NOT a requirement to apply! Anyone who participates in winter hiking or climbing, snowshoeing, splitboarding, or backcountry skiing is welcomed as part of our community.
Board members are expected to attend monthly meetings between September and May, and all board members participate in one or more committees or extended projects. The majority of this participation is virtual, but board members in the Seattle area have the option to join every other board meeting in person. We’d love to have more representation from other areas of Washington!
We are seeking a diversity of perspectives from people who are willing to serve a minimum 2-year commitment, spending 5-10 hours per month on board activities. We expect board members to use Slack for internal communications and we’ll provide a dedicated CBA email address to you for official communications.
Board members should be able to effectively and professionally represent CBA in communications, at events, and to your personal network. We especially love folks who are willing to engage with the public about relevant issues that impact backcountry access!
Apply Now
Interested? Take 15 minutes to fill out our online application form by September 30th. We’ll be in touch soon thereafter and aim to conduct short interviews the week of October 7th.
