Let&#8217;s talk about the opportunity to apply for a seat at the BEO table in the November 2026 Board of Directors election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>WHO WE ARE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The BEO is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that keeps the Basque conversation alive across the U.S. diaspora. We&#8217;re fully remote, we meet once a month, and we care more about the range of ideas at the table than where everyone happens to be sitting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">We don&#8217;t just talk about ideas \u2014 we build them. This is a hard-working, highly active Board: the film series, the scholarship program, the grants, the Little Free Library, and everything in between exists because someone on this Board made it happen. This isn&#8217;t a resume line. It&#8217;s a room full of people who show up, disagree well, and get things done. If that sounds like you, we invite you to apply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>THE COMMITMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Serving on the Board is a real commitment, and we want you to go in with eyes open:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"&#091;li_&amp;&#093;:mb-0 &#091;li_&amp;&#093;:mt-1 &#091;li_&amp;&#093;:gap-1 &#091;&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul&#093;:pb-1 &#091;&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol&#093;:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">We meet once a month, on the first Thursday, and we&#8217;re looking for people ready to stick with it for the full term.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Each Board member serves on at least one committee and is hands-on with one of our active programs \u2014 that&#8217;s where the real work (and fun) happens.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">We stay in touch between meetings, so being reachable and comfortable with tools like Zoom, Google Drive, emailing, and texting helps.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">You don&#8217;t need to live in the Bay Area. What matters most is a timezone that lets you join us.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">If you&#8217;re elected, you&#8217;ll sign a standard conflict-of-interest disclosure \u2014 just like everyone else on our board.<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The work is unpaid. People stay because they want to be here, and that&#8217;s the kind of energy we&#8217;re hoping to find.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_tta-container\" data-vc-action=\"collapse\"><div class=\"vc_general vc_tta vc_tta-tabs vc_tta-color-grey vc_tta-style-classic vc_tta-shape-rounded vc_tta-spacing-1 vc_tta-tabs-position-top vc_tta-controls-align-left\"><div class=\"vc_tta-tabs-container\"><ul class=\"vc_tta-tabs-list\" role=\"tablist\"><li class=\"vc_tta-tab vc_active\" data-vc-tab role=\"presentation\"><a href=\"#1784083779217-e5234d7f-4a5b\" data-vc-tabs data-vc-container=\".vc_tta\" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"false\" id=\"tab-1784083779217-e5234d7f-4a5b\"><i class=\"vc_tta-icon vc_li vc_li-pen\"><\/i><span class=\"vc_tta-title-text\">I'M READY TO APPLY<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panels-container\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panels\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel vc_active\" id=\"1784083779217-e5234d7f-4a5b\" data-vc-content=\".vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"vc_tta-panel-title\"><a href=\"#1784083779217-e5234d7f-4a5b\" data-vc-accordion data-vc-container=\".vc_tta-container\"><i class=\"vc_tta-icon vc_li vc_li-pen\"><\/i><span class=\"vc_tta-title-text\">I'M READY TO APPLY<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\"><style id=\"wpforms-css-vars-10097\">\n\t\t\t\t#wpforms-10097 {\n\t\t\t\t--wpforms-field-size-input-height: 43px;\n--wpforms-field-size-input-spacing: 15px;\n--wpforms-field-size-font-size: 16px;\n--wpforms-field-size-line-height: 19px;\n--wpforms-field-size-padding-h: 14px;\n--wpforms-field-size-checkbox-size: 16px;\n--wpforms-field-size-sublabel-spacing: 5px;\n--wpforms-field-size-icon-size: 1;\n--wpforms-label-size-font-size: 16px;\n--wpforms-label-size-line-height: 19px;\n--wpforms-label-size-sublabel-font-size: 14px;\n--wpforms-label-size-sublabel-line-height: 17px;\n--wpforms-button-size-font-size: 17px;\n--wpforms-button-size-height: 41px;\n--wpforms-button-size-padding-h: 15px;\n--wpforms-button-size-margin-top: 10px;\n--wpforms-container-shadow-size-box-shadow: none;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/style><div class=\"wpforms-container wpforms-container-full wpforms-render-modern\" id=\"wpforms-10097\"><form id=\"wpforms-form-10097\" class=\"wpforms-validate wpforms-form wpforms-ajax-form\" data-formid=\"10097\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" action=\"\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2616\" data-token=\"c86e841fce4725dbe2ffd7e1bf1e0965\" data-token-time=\"1784760739\"><noscript class=\"wpforms-error-noscript\">Veuillez activer JavaScript dans votre navigateur pour remplir ce formulaire.<\/noscript><div id=\"wpforms-error-noscript\" style=\"display: none;\">Veuillez activer JavaScript dans votre navigateur pour remplir ce formulaire.<\/div><div class=\"wpforms-field-container\"><div id=\"wpforms-10097-field_1-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-text\" data-field-type=\"text\" data-field-id=\"1\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-10097-field_1\">Let&#039;s start with your name. <span class=\"wpforms-required-label\" aria-hidden=\"true\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-10097-field_1\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][1]\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-10097-field_1-error\" required><\/div><div id=\"wpforms-10097-field_4-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-layout\" data-field-type=\"layout\" data-field-id=\"4\"><div class=\"wpforms-field-layout-rows wpforms-field-large\"><div class=\"wpforms-layout-row\"><div class=\"wpforms-layout-column wpforms-layout-column-50\"><div id=\"wpforms-10097-field_2-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-email\" data-field-type=\"email\" data-field-id=\"2\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-10097-field_2\">What is your email address?
