SEED is seeking new members for our Board of Directors. This is a time of growth at SEED and we are looking for members to help fulfill our mission of improving the quality of life in Southeast Seattle.
SEED’s board members come from a variety of professional and community backgrounds and they are all committed to a more equitable Seattle. Former board members include former governor Gary Locke, former King County Executive Ron Sims and former Seattle Mayor Norm Rice.
Board members are invested in the organization’s continued strengthening and development. The Board ensures that SEED remains true to its mission and carries out its responsibilities for the public good. As SEED is grounded in community, our bylaws require that two thirds of the Board resides in or serves the residents of Southeast Seattle. The Board establishes policy, supervises the Executive Director, secures funds, monitors finances and operating effectiveness, and maintains strategic plans. Board members serve terms of three years.
SEED is committed to retaining a racially diverse Board and BIPOC candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Additionally, we are seeking candidates with one or more of the following qualities: those living or working in Southeast Seattle, Low Income Housing Tax Credit experience, connections to the tech community, fundraising expertise, history as a resident in a SEED building, arts expertise, and candidates between 25 and 35 years old.
