Board Member on the Resource Development Committee (Development Role to Treasurer)

Leaders of Today and Tomorrow (LOTT) ignites women to lead with confidence. When women are ignited to lead with confidence, their leadership will build stronger, more equitable communities that will transform the world. We advance women’s leadership by inspiring emerging leaders through an intensive fellowship where emerging women leaders are matched with mentors and attend workshops led by local women leaders.

The Leaders of Today and Tomorrow (LOTT) is an active and volunteer-only run organization. We rely on volunteers who generously give time, expertise, talent, and enthusiasm to make the program happen; they are crucial to the structure and success of the organization. We are seeking a volunteer to join our Board of Directors as a Board Member on the Resource Development Committee.
