Watershed Management Group (WMG) is a Tucson-based nonprofit organization that develops and implements community-based solutions to ensure the long-term prosperity of people and health of the environment. We are currently seeking committed individuals to join our board of directors and board committees with a passion to serve the community and work with a dynamic, solutions-focused group. In the next few years, board and committee members will support a variety of WMG’s initiatives including:
- Furthering our 50-year vision to restore Tucson’s heritage of flowing rivers through the River Run Network
- Expanding WMG’s programs and services to better engage limited income and underserved populations
- Enhancing educational programs and services at our Living Lab and Learning Center
- Launching and building an endowment fund
The board and committees help develop the strategic goals of the organization, ensure adequate staff and financial resources, and help monitor the overall health of the organization. WMG is committed to building a diverse and inclusive board and committees that foster proactive dialogue, collaborative learning, and shared leadership.
Board Membership: WMG board members are expected to attend quarterly board business meetings, serve on at least one committee of the organization, support the organization financially, attend outreach and fundraising events, and assist the organization in achieving its goals and mission. WMG board members serve a two-year term of service and are eligible for additional terms.
Committee Membership: In addition to board service, we are also looking for members to join our Development and Finance committees. Committee membership offers volunteers an introduction to the leadership of the organization and support the achievement of the mission with a lesser time commitment. Committees typically meet 1 hour/month and will work on projects independently between meetings.
