We’re seeking a President for our Board of Directors
Our President has decided it's time to semi-retire and allow someone else to lead our organization. Laura Baker has been serving as our President for the past 10 years. Even though she will be stepping down from her leadership position she plans to continue to be a part of our Friends organization. We sincerely thank her for that and for the years she has dedicated to making our Friends group special. This change now presents a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, supporting a valued public institution, and helping guide a financially stable non-profit into its next chapter. Could this be you? The Board President provides leadership, coordination, and vision while working collaboratively with fellow Board members and volunteers. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys leadership, community engagement, and nonprofit governance. The time commitment for this role is 1.5 hours every other month for Board meetings and an additional 5 -7 hours monthly for other duties. There is also a one-day planning meeting on a Saturday in the fall. Time increases a bit around major events (like the book/media sale), but responsibilities are shared. We’re looking for someone who: Champions libraries and literacy Feels invested in the Tualatin community and its public library Enjoys connecting with community organizations, leaders, and partners Is comfortable providing leadership in a collaborative, volunteer‑driven environment Brings curiosity, reliability, and a positive, steady presence You don’t need prior library experience—nonprofit experience is helpful but not required. What matters most is a genuine interest in the mission and a willingness to help lead. If this interests you, let's have a conversation! Send us an email via our Contact page. Or, review the position description and FAQ's (then contact us!)
