2021-2022 Lamaze Board Candidate Search
The Search Committee is actively seeking leadership candidates for election to the Lamaze Board of Directors. This year there will be one position to fill. The process includes an open call and active search for candidates from among our Lamaze membership, a Candidate Application/Questionnaire with resume, and an interview process to ensure candidate leadership skills match with the needs of the Board of Directors. The search process will be driven by Lamaze strategic priorities which include – research, education, advocacy and collaboration, diversity and inclusion, and organizational vibrancy – with consideration for a healthy balance of points of view among the full composition of the board. Interested candidates must submit their application materials to info@lamaze.org for consideration by the Search Committee on or before Friday, May 7, 2021.
