Five board members are elected each year. Nominations are accepted by the elections committee. You can nominate yourself or someone else with this nomination form.
Each Board member is expected to serve on a variety of committees and make a financial contribution to the PRADO Scholarship Fund.
Much of PRADO’s work is done by committee. If you are interested in volunteering to help raise money for scholarships, become a mentor or help with the Slack channels, let us know.
