Our particular expertise is remediating and redeveloping environmentally-distressed propertiescommonly called "brownfields"?. About the Role The Company is seeking new board members to join its mission of revitalizing communities through sustainable and equitable land reuse. Board members play a crucial role in the organization, sharing responsibilities that include compliance with statutory duties, setting and monitoring long-range goals, establishing policy, and ensuring the financial health of the organization. The ideal candidate for this volunteer position should be motivated to advance the sustainable and equitable reuse of underutilized properties, ready to step into a trustee role with a background in governance and strategy, and able to represent the interests of under-resourced communities. Professional backgrounds in environmental law, environmental justice, communications, marketing, fundraising, affordable housing, and nonprofit finance are particularly valued.
