Board of Directors Applications


Thank you for your interest in serving as a member on the Board of Directors for Aspen Valley Land Trust! 

In alignment with AVLT’s strategic plan, we are seeking to add members to our Board of Directors that reflect our community and serve the needs of the organization and will gladly accept applications from all interested individuals regardless of background. We seek to increase the geographic, socioeconomic, and demographic diversity on the board, as well as represent a range of professional backgrounds, skillsets, and perspectives, including ranchers, farmers, educators, fundraisers, residents of Western Garfield County, and people from communities that are underrepresented in conservation. Like ecosystems, conservation gains strength through diversity.

​To request an application, email Lauran Garcia at [email protected]. The selection process will take place over the next few months with the goal of bringing on a few good folks by the end of the year.

​COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY
Aspen Valley Land Trust is the only local, non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving land forever in the Roaring Fork and Colorado River valleys. We believe that conservation is community building, and should seek to support more inclusive, healthy communities. We believe in collaborating with, learning from, and serving the diverse communities across our region, because everyone has the right to enjoy open spaces, special places, and a healthy environment. We also believe conservation should reflect the values and changing needs of those communities.
 
 
Aspen Valley Land Trust is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, and veteran or disability status.
