April 4, 2026 | Recruiting New Board Members

At a time when global tensions often dominate the headlines, the Sister Cities Association of Spokane (SCAS) offers something different: connection.

For decades, SCAS has built relationships with communities around the world through cultural exchange, education, and citizen-to-citizen diplomacy. These partnerships create real opportunities for learning and collaboration.

Spokane currently has five Sister Cities and one Friendship City, with additional partnerships in development. Now, we’re inviting others to be part of this work.

SCAS is recruiting new members to serve on its Board of Directors, including At-Large, Youth, and Secretary positions. These volunteer roles are ideal for individuals who value cultural exchange and community leadership. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to engage locally while making a global impact, we encourage you to apply.

The Board of Directors meets the first Tuesday of every month in the Sister City Conference Room in Spokane City Hall from 3-5 pm. From time to time, we also meet through digital media. We do not have regular meetings during July and August. 

Application Process:

1. Please look over the SCAS website to learn more details of each individual Sister City, and how we operate as an Association. The Mayor of Spokane, Lisa Brown, serves as ex-officio President, and Dr. John S. Caputo is currently the President of the Association.
2. Complete a letter of interest, list two professional references, and attach a CV or resume that summarizes your abilities and interest in serving. Applications can be emailed to jcaputo1@mac.com or postal mailed to:
