Perugia Press Seeks Board Members
Are you passionate about poetry, amplifying women’s voices, and small press publishing? Are you interested in helping Perugia Press to launch the work of emerging women poets into the world? Then perhaps you’d consider joining the board of our nonprofit, feminist press.
We are expanding and diversifying our board of directors, and we seek leaders with the skills and energy to help steer the press, offer advice, and raise funds as we continue our work publishing first and second poetry books by women.
We are looking for women with experience in one or more of the following: fundraising, grant writing, social media presence and promotion, organizational and strategic thinking, poetry event coordination, education, publishing, nonprofit board service, and planning in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. Being on our vibrant team is a profound and gratifying way to participate in the literary world.
Perugia Press is committed to the principles and practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we encourage applications from women of color, in the LGBTQ+ community, with disabilities, and representing other traditionally marginalized groups.
Board members are asked to be aligned with our values and mission, to attend four meetings a year (three via video, one in person in western MA, where the press is based), and to participate in supporting and promoting the press in ways that work with their interests and expertise. A list of more specific expectations will be shared with interested applicants.
