2026 Reuse Minnesota Board of Directors election

September 15, 2026

The Reuse Minnesota Board of Directors is made up of individuals who are passionate about reuse, and who serve in 3-year terms to support the mission, vision, and initiatives of the organization. Each fall, Reuse Minnesota holds an election to fill open board positions. We are currently seeking applicants to join the board in 2027.

Full description of the board role and time expectations. 

The Board functions as a hybrid of a working board and an advisory/oversight board. To support organizational needs, board members serve on teams 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.

Voting will be conducted using ranked choice voting via an electronic ballot between November 12 and November 24, 2026. Individuals who are elected will be notified no later than November 30, 2026, and announced to the public soon after.
