Board of Directors Elections

The Sequoia Project is seeking leaders with diverse views to serve on the Board of Directors for a three year term (January 1, 2024-December 31, 2026).

A Nominating Committee, comprised of volunteers from the existing board and Sequoia members, is overseeing the nomination and election process in accordance with the bylaws. The Committee invites all The Sequoia Project Full Member organizations to submit one nomination and participate in the elections. Nominations should be coordinated in communication with your organization’s Leadership Council representative. The Nominating Committee will evaluate all nominees and prepare a slate for member elections to take place in October 2023. The new Board of Directors will be announced at The Sequoia Project’s Annual Meeting in November.

Please review the nominee qualifications and complete your nomination via the online form. Please note that all nominees for open member-elected seats must either be employed by or under contract with a member organization.

The nominations will close at 11:59pm ET on Friday, September 8, 2023.
