Board Member Recruitment Strategy

My organization currently has three vacant board positions. We want to recruit new members of influence and affluence who align with our mission, vision, and purpose and would like a Taproot volunteer to help us find viable candidates for these positions.

The Wells International Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary on October 1, 2025. We have accomplished amazing results in our five Strategic Focus Areas. Our achievements include two successful years of our Youth Veterinarian Initiative, which introduces Black and Latinx youth to the possibility of pursuing veterinary medicine as a career; the organization of university visits and networking events for eight International Youth Leadership Program excursions to Paris, FRANCE since 2022; and the successful completion of a mentoring project in support of the female executive director of Jolt Youth Initiative and her team in Uganda through our L³ Alliance women's empowerment initiative.

We are excited to embark on our second decade of service and have ambitious plans for expanding and deepening our impact through our most successful initiatives. The current board agrees that we should increase our efforts to fill our our empty board slots to achieve our new goals. We seek a skilled Taproot volunteer to help us with this critical recruitment task.

We have a clear mission statement and can point to the excellent track record we have regarding the fulfillment of our mission through projects and programs in the Arts, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Education/Literacy, Travel/Study Abroad, and Women's Empowerment. We have a recruitment procedure in place. Once candidates pass the pre-interview stage, we set up interviews rapidly and make a decision on each candidate in a maximum of 72 hours. We're ready to go!!!
