Co-Lead the Impact Team

Would you like to play a pivotal role in the relationship between ninety-nine girlfriends and our grantee partners? We're recruiting a co-lead for the Impact Team for our 2021-2022 activity! This team is a part of the constellation of groups that support our grant-making and grantee partner relations under the Grants Steering Committee. This is a great opportunity for someone who likes to balance administrative logistics with big picture planning–managing grantee partner contracts and payments, coordinating the work of our liaisons, and communicating the impact of our work to the wider membership through grantee reporting and a member event. This is a collaborative role for someone who wants to design and evolve a responsive, supportive relationship with our grantee partners.
