SV2 Board of Directors Openings
We are pleased to announce that we will have at least one open seat on the SV2 Board of Directors to be filled this Spring. The SV2 Board has limited terms, and some current members will be terming off. There will be an open application process – any Partner who is interested in serving on the SV2 Board should fill out the Statement of Interest form, which you can access and download here.
If you are interested in applying, please email your completed form to the chair of SV2’s Nominating & Governance Board Committee, Jim Basile, by Wednesday, March 25, 2020. The Nominating & Governance Board Committee will review all Statements of Interest in May and will be in touch with applicants individually at that time.
New Board member(s) will attend an orientation over the summer and begin serving on the Board in Fall 2020. If you have any questions about the SV2 Board or the Board application process, please do not hesitate to contact Jim Basile. The Board looks forward serving with the new members who will help steward SV2 through our next exciting chapter.
