This is the 32nd Annual Halloween Haunts at Wehr Nature Center. This family-friendly, not-to-scary event is one of the highlights of our year at Wehr. Many volunteers are needed to make this event a success. We need volunteers to carve over 300 pumpkins to light our Enchanted Forest trail for the nights of the event. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are not allowed to gather in a very large group to carve pumpkins. We are asking for groups of not more than 10 to come to Wehr on October 12 and 13 for one hour shifts between 9 AM and 4 PM. If the weather is inclement, we will not be able to bring volunteers into the building. Pumpkins will need to be taken back to work or home and carved.

Architects Without Borders Seattle (AWBS) is seeking talented and passionate leaders to serve a two-year term on our Board of Directors from January 2023 through December 2024.

Diversity is crucial to the success of our mission to collaborate with underserved communities to deliver ecologically sensitive, culturally appropriate, life-changing design solutions in Seattle and around the world. We seek members who have ties or lived experience with underserved communities locally and/or internationally. Skills helpful to AWBS at this time include fundraising, marketing, and international development. We are also seeking those who have a current Washington State architect license.

About AWBS
Founded in 2005 by a group of Seattle architects and designers in response to a devastating tsunami, Architects Without Borders Seattle is committed to providing pro bono services to build strong communities. AWBS is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. Volunteers are fundamental to our work as all our project work is completely volunteer led and assisted. AWBS’s one paid staff member is our Executive Director, who reports to the Board of Directors.

​AWBS Mission and Values
AWBS volunteers collaborate with underserved communities to deliver ecologically sensitive, culturally appropriate, life-changing design.

Core Values:
- Appropriate design solutions are vital to communities and the environment
- Collaborative long-term relationships with communities are essential to providing effective design assistance
- Exchange of knowledge and skills can empower both communities and designers
- Interdisciplinary teams create innovative and insightful projects
- Volunteer passion, energy, and efforts make our work possible


Board of Directors Responsibilities
AWBS Board members advise, govern, oversee policy and direction, and assist with leadership and general promotion of Architects Without Borders Seattle. Although board members are not directly responsible for project work, they assist the Project Committee with project leadership. Board members serve as ambassadors and guide the sustainability of the organization.

Board members serve as advisors by:
- providing mission-focused guidance during potential project vetting, and to project teams, as needed
- mentoring new board members
- serving on one board committee to focus on specific parts of AWB’s mission and needs

Board members serve as ambassadors by:
- reflecting the Mission and Core Values of the organization
- strengthening relationships between AWBS and the local community
- advancing AWBS’s mission and services
- supporting activities to develop funding for the organization

Board members guide the sustainability of the organization by:

- engaging in strategic planning to establish long and short-term goals and priorities
- overseeing personnel and staff accountability and development
- recognizing and avoiding conflicts of interest

Meetings and Time Commitment
AWBS Board members should commit in the range of 12-25 hours per month to AWBS, distributed between the monthly board meeting, events, and work related to the organization, as well as committee meetings. Each board member will participate and serve on at least one board committee, which aligns with their areas of expertise and interest. The board will engage in an annual retreat of approximately 6-8 hours, usually held on a weekend day in February.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, as of March 2020, the board has been meeting virtually via Zoom instead of the in-person meetings itemized below. In-person meetings will resume in the future when it is safe to do so.

The board of directors meets monthly on the third Wednesday of the month, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. in downtown Seattle at our office at 1101 2nd Ave.

Committee meetings generally take place once per month for 90 minutes in person or by zoom. Members are expected to attend at least three Projects Committee meetings each year (a monthly gathering of volunteer teams doing the inspiring work of the organization).

Board members are expected to attend and participate in organization-wide events (e.g. the annual fundraiser, annual volunteer appreciation, etc.).

One board term is two years long, with the option to continue serving on the board after the first term.
