Opportunities - Call for Board Members
PerSIStence Theatre is inviting members from our community who are interested in joining a passionate group of like-minded individuals as a member of our volunteer board of directors.
Our board of PerSISters governs the organization through thoughtful and caring implementation of our by-laws, policies and strategic planning process in a supportive environment, grounded in feminist practice.
Whether you are an experienced volunteer or looking to expand your skills, we welcome your expression of interest - whether you identify as a Boomer, GenX, Millennials or Gen Zed!
PerSIStence Theatre recognizes the limits of using binary language. Issues facing women do not only affect cisgender women: systems of oppression are interdependent and the patriarchy affects everyone in different ways.
We welcome expressions of interest from ALL including folx identifying as seniors, youth (19+), transgender, non-binary, 2SLGBTQIA+, Black, Indigenous, racialized, disabled, as well as people with lived experience. Our work is enriched by diverse perspectives.
The principal expectations of Board members include:
