Through programs, events, and mentorship, we foster innovation, critical thinking, and inclusivity in STEM education.

Role of the Chair

We are seeking a dynamic and strategic leader to serve as Chair of the Board of Directors. The Chair will guide STEM Fellowship through a period of internal change and organizational transition, bringing stability, clarity of direction, and strong governance. They will inspire confidence among stakeholders, keep the Board focused on long-term goals, and actively contribute to fundraising, advocacy, and external relations.

This volunteer role requires a high level of commitment beyond regular Board meetings, including organizational oversight, participation in strategic initiatives, and ongoing availability to support the organization. The Chair is elected to a two-year term, with the possibility of renewal.

  • Experience with partnership development, fundraising, and external representation.
  • Integrity, accountability, professionalism, and inclusive leadership.
