The current need is for a council member from the US. We especially encourage people of color or Latinx heritage to apply. We need to hear your voices! Current U.S. council members are from Northern Indiana, Oregon, South Dakota, and Virginia, so we prefer that a new representative be from another area. Please apply by September 13.
