Forming board

Help build the accountable room.

Vicinism is looking for board candidates who can help turn a preview-stage movement into durable public governance without founder capture, donor capture, or local power without a rights floor.

Launch boundary

This is a candidate path, not a final board claim.

Vicinism is not yet a formed legal entity, and no final public board is active in this preview. The work now is finding people with the judgment to help make the eventual structure accountable before authority hardens.

What Vicinism needs

Board candidates should bring steadiness where movements usually get vague.

Governance discipline

Help define authority, terms, selection, removal, appeals, records, and decision rules before anyone treats temporary stewardship as permanent power.

Accountability judgment

Keep conflict-of-interest rules, correction paths, minority reports, and public reasoning strong enough for people outside the room to trust the process.

Local organizing sense

Understand how neighborhood work actually happens: listening, coalition repair, institutional relationships, public constraints, and consequences close to home.

Operations maturity

Bring fundraising, compliance, budgeting, delivery, or nonprofit operating experience without turning the movement into a donor project.

Rights-floor stewardship

Protect equal dignity, nonviolence, privacy, anti-corruption, and due process as the floor beneath every local adaptation.

Independence

Name conflicts early, resist capture, and stay comfortable with transparent limits while Vicinism moves from preview to reviewed structure.

Contact path

Interested in being considered?

Use the contact form with the board-candidate topic. The route keeps private staff destinations out of public HTML while giving Vicinism a clear signal that your message belongs in the forming-board conversation.

Helpful first note

  • Your governance, organizing, fundraising, operations, legal, compliance, or community-accountability experience.
  • Any conflicts Vicinism should know before a serious conversation.
  • The kind of public responsibility you believe a movement board should accept.
