What are we looking for in a candidate SLCP Board member?
Here is the candidate profile (as set in the SLCP Bylaws) we are looking for:
Relevant experience and/or expertise in relation to SLCP’s Vision & Mission, strategy and/or operations
Strategic thinker/operator, with sound judgement, decision-making and communication skills
Proficient in English
All round basic understanding of finances to support informed decision-making, risk management, regulatory compliance, transparency and accountability
Consensus-driven and collaborative working style
Alignment with SLCP’s principles and values
Willingness to champion the interests of SLCP externally, with Signatories and other stakeholders
Able to act as an occasional sounding Board for the CEO
Previous or concurrent Board service for other multi-stakeholder or not-for-profit organizations is a bonus
Requisite time and availability to serve (see details below)
In addition to this desired profile, SLCP strives for diversity in its board particularly on geographical/cultural background, gender, skillset and experience. Given SLCP’s strategy to gradually expand to additional industries, experience in non-apparel/adjacent sectors is a preference.
