Ignition Northwest Board is looking for an enthusiastic radical participant!

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, we need a new bff to come count our gold with us! Our team is one short after Tuck needed to step down for personal reasons earlier this year, leaving one lucky applicant the opportunity to express one of the best of the 10 principals: radical participation. Come hash out all the important cogs of how to make INW tick for community events. We have lively monthly online hangout where you'd get to be involved in discussing and deciding important details, and you might even get to join in time to participate in the behind-the-curtains magic for this year's SeaCompression, coming up on Oct 17.

Some skills we are looking for:

- High touch/High responsive rate to action items
- Some familiarity with how non-profit finances work
- Comfortability with spreadsheets with numbers/formulae
- Interest in doing Comms -> created posts and newsletters to communicate with the community

Not all of the above listed skills are necessary, but at least one would be preferable.

We don’t know who you are. We don’t know what you want. But what you do have are a very particular set of skills (preferably in accounting), skills you have acquired over a decent amount of time.

Skills that make you an asset for boards like us. If you reach out to the board now, that’ll be the end of it, we will simply consider you. But if you don’t, we will look for you, we will find you, and we will appoint you to the board.
