New York Wine & Grape Foundation
2024 Board Application
This year, the NYWGF Board of Directors is seeking applications from New York table grape growers for the statutorily mandated one (1) table grape grower board seat and for one (1) At Large board seat who can serve as the Board Treasurer. NYWGF is looking for mission-aligned individuals with strong collaboration, communication, implementation, and strategic skills.
For the table grape grower board seat, we are seeking any New York grape grower that grows table grape varietals that are sold commercially either from a nursery, farm stand, through distribution, and/or at a New York State farmers market. See NYWGF board job description for more detailed responsibilities and expectations.
For the At Large board seat, we are specifically seeking candidates who can serve as the Board Treasurer and be responsible for providing financial oversight and leadership for the organization’s finances and budget. NYWGF’s board treasurer is responsible for coordinating and ensuring the financial oversight and financial health of the organization for the board, and the treasurer directs the board’s financial work, so the board achieves its goals and operates per its bylaws. See the position description for more detailed requirements.
Applicants for both open board seats should possess experience serving on non-profit boards and should be passionate about New York’s grape and wine industry.
The NYWGF Board will review applications and vote to elect new Board Directors at its May 29th Board Meeting. More information about our Board of Directors is available at newyorkwines.org/board-applications
