Project Q&A is beginning an exciting new phase in our grassroots efforts to make small towns safer for LGBTQ individuals. We are the leading nonprofit organization working to educate, empower, and raise visibility for the over 2.9 million LGBTQIA+ individuals who call rural America home. Over the past seven years, we have been building programs and helping create inclusive communities. As we have grown, so have our needs. We are looking to fill Board of Director positions to ensure that our mission is being met and that we reflect the communities we serve.
This exciting restructure of Project Q&A will allow us to build our infrastructure and ensure we meet the needs of rural queer communities. We need influential leaders like yourself to serve on our Board of Directors to achieve our goals. Your unique skills, talents, and connections make you an excellent candidate for our board.
Now more than ever, the LGBTQ community needs strong leadership and presence in all communities, especially in rural areas of our country. We would be honored to have you serve on our board. Board members’ terms outlined in the by-laws are two years, with monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of the Month at 6:30 PM via Zoom. I look forward to discussing this opportunity with you further and working with you to ensure that LGBTQ individuals in rural America are empowered to live their authentic lives in safe environments.
