2024 Reuse Minnesota Board of Directors election

October 1, 2024

The Reuse Minnesota Board of Directors is made up of individuals who are passionate about reuse. The board functions as a hybrid of a working board and an advisory/oversight board. To support organizational needs, board members serve on teams (finance, fund development, governance, membership, personnel, strategic planning) and work collaboratively with staff. The Board is made up of officers (chosen by the board at the start of each year) and members at large. 

Each fall, Reuse Minnesota holds an election to fill board member positions. We are seeking individuals from a variety of backgrounds to apply for the fall 2024 election. We strongly encourage applications from BIPOC individuals, individuals in Greater Minnesota, and people with experience in fundraising, member recruitment, or finance.

Full description of the board role and time expectations.

Strong candidates demonstrate

  • Commitment to expanding the mission, vision, and initiatives of Reuse Minnesota
  • Capacity to share skills that strengthen the organization
  • Enthusiasm for reuse (resale, repair, rental, repurposing), recognizing the environmental, economic, and social benefits of these activities
  • Interest in connecting with reuse businesses and building an inclusive, diverse statewide network

Desired experience 

  • Fundraising – expanding individual giving, organizing fundraising campaigns, obtaining event sponsorships, investigating other possibilities and new trends
  • Membership recruitment - engaging with reuse organizations around the state, helping expand our membership network
  • Familiarity with online collaboration tools such as Google Docs
