Are you an experienced freelancer with wisdom to share? Do you care about advancing the rights of independent workers? If so, we want you to be our next Member Representative on the Freelancers Union Board of Directors!

Freelancers Union is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization that was created to serve the interests of independent workers, and member participation is critical to shaping the future and direction of the organization. The Member Representative has the same responsibilities as our other Board Members in seeking the greatest success for Freelancers Union as an institution, and its ability to enact its mission.

Member Representatives are elected by the Freelancers Union membership at large to serve a two-year term. They must be able to attend (either in person or by phone / Zoom) 3 board meetings per year to discuss events, campaigns, and other matters related to the organization. The representative brings their experience and knowledge of the freelance landscape to help guide strategic planning, advocacy efforts and resources for members and the organization.

Applications will be accepted from November 24th to December 8th, after which the Freelancers Union nominating committee will interview candidates and make their recommendations. The candidates they recommend will then have an opportunity to campaign and gather support to become the next member representative followed by up for a vote from the full Freelancers Union membership.

The newly elected Member Representative’s first board meeting will be the Bi-Annual Meeting in January 2025.
