Become an East Nasty Board Member
”We exist to make East Nashville a great place to live and run, and to make running accessible to everyone in our community.“
We are a 'working board' – meaning we are the hands and feet that make everything happen. Wednesday night runs, finances, party/event planning, fundraising, social media, merch and gear, etc. are all envisioned, managed, and executed by board members.
Being a board member is rewarding, but also comes with responsibilities. We ask a lot of our board members, and we need individuals that can commit to the following:
Attend quarterly board meetings
Be co-responsible for one quarter each year of our Wednesday night runs (set-up, tear down, communications, etc.)
Lead/serve the club in an area of general need (finance/accounting, fundraising/partnerships, social media, event planning, merch design & sales, etc.)
Participate in one or more functional sub-committees
Commit on average 3-5 hours monthly on board duties (based on your area of support)
And of course, to be the finest reflection to the community of our club's values and mission.
Our Board works best when it's made up of all kinds of runners — both faster and slower, from 5Kers to Ultra-marathoners. We are looking for people who have a passion for fitness and for community, who have skills, expertise, and ideas to help maintain and grow our organization, and who can make a sincere commitment to serving East Nasty Running Club. You don't have to live in East Nashville, but our club's efforts are focused here, so you should be interested in and familiar with the area.
We periodically add members to our board and are currently looking for a limited number of board members with specific skill sets. If you are interested in serving our club as a Board member, with an understanding of the commitment involved, please fill out the online application. While we cannot accept all applicants as full board members, we encourage anyone interested to submit an application. Our needs change and the club is always looking for volunteer leaders; we will look to you to jump in and lend a hand.
If you have specific questions about the board or commitment, contact Kevin Howard (kevin@eastnastyforlife.com) or Jessica Johns (jessica@eastnastyforlife.com), or ask any current board member about their own experience. It would be a good idea to review our About page where you can also see our current leadership team. After you submit an application, a member of the Board will contact you to let you know where we are in the selection process and to discuss next steps with you. Please be patient! Thank you, and ENFL!
