Board Membership
Want to help steer the direction of EA The Hague? We're looking for people to join our board and take real responsibility for keeping our community thriving and impactful.
What you'll be doing
As a board member, you'll be taking actual responsibility for the organization. This isn't just advisory—you'll be making real decisions and keeping things running. But here's the exciting part: you'll also have real freedom to shape what EA The Hague becomes.
Depending on how many board members we bring on and what your strengths are, responsibilities might include:
Financial management - budgets, keeping track of spending, making sure we're sustainable
Internal/external communications - keeping the community informed, managing partnerships, representing EA The Hague
Impact optimization - thinking strategically about how we can do the most good with our resources and efforts
Operational stuff - like maintaining our rent agreement, finding alternative spaces if needed, and other legal/formal responsibilities
But beyond the day-to-day, you'll have the opportunity to create your own projects and add your own touch to THEA. Want to start an expert fellowship? Focus on career workshops instead of intro programs? Launch an efficient fundraising initiative? Experiment with new formats? The board has the freedom to pivot, experiment, and pursue what you think will have the most impact.
You'll be working alongside at least one continuing board member. If we end up with 3+ people, we'll probably do monthly board meetings. Otherwise, things might happen more informally as needed.
What we're looking for
Time commitment: Around 4-6 hours per week (varies depending on what's happening)
Term length: Preferably at least 1 year
Knowledge: Good familiarity with EA topics (not expert level, but you should know your stuff)
Vibe check: Reliable, thoughtful, willing to actually own your responsibilities and follow through
Prior experience with organizational leadership, finances, or community building would be amazing, but if you're committed and enthusiastic, we want to hear from you anyway!
The real talk
This role requires genuine commitment. You'll be making decisions that affect the organization, handling money, and dealing with actual responsibilities. If that sounds exciting rather than daunting, you might be perfect for this.
