Board Application

Both Green Burial Council organizations seek new nonprofit board members with a commitment to furthering natural burial practices. GBC Boards are dynamic groups of advocates for environmentally responsible funeral and burial practices through its standards certification program and role in educating the public.

Members of the working board of directors devote time and effort to building and sustaining the organization. Prospective candidates choosing to apply for a seat should have adequate experience and skills in one or more of the following areas: communications (social media, web tech, media representation, writing); education and outreach; strategic planning; nonprofit structure, organization, and financial management; standards development and certification. New board members will be expected to have appropriate computer skills, including a facility with email and an online document storage system, plus attend regular board meetings via video conferencing.

Being a GBC board member is a great opportunity to serve the movement toward more eco-responsible after-death practices while working shoulder to shoulder with like-minded leaders who share values and goals. We are not actively looking for candidates at this time (our annual board year ends in June) but we will gladly keep your application on file for the next round if you wish to submit it at any time. Thanks for your interest!
