Job description

Wilderness Search Investigations (WSI) was formed to address a difficult and often overlooked reality: after official search efforts for missing outdoor enthusiasts conclude, families are frequently left without a path forward.

Search and Rescue teams and law enforcement agencies perform extraordinary work under difficult conditions. However, operational limitations, resource constraints, weather conditions, time factors, and risk management considerations often require active searches to end before families feel they have answers.

WSI exists to help fill that gap.

For families, uncertainty can persist for years.

The absence of answers creates emotional, psychological, and practical burdens that rarely disappear simply because an official search has ended.

Continued investigative attention can generate overlooked leads, re-examine assumptions, and help families feel they have not been abandoned.

WSI is not intended to replace Search & Rescue teams or law enforcement agencies.

The organization is designed to operate as a complementary and respectful resource focused on continued case review, investigative follow-up, and field-based reassessment where appropriate.

WSI’s long-term credibility and sustainability will depend heavily on the strength of its governance.

The organization seeks respected and thoughtful leaders who can help shape organizational ethics, governance discipline, strategic direction, public credibility, and community trust.

WSI is particularly interested in individuals with backgrounds in:

- Search & Rescue

- Outdoor recreation leadership

- Law enforcement or investigations

- Nonprofit governance

- Finance or accounting

- Legal or risk management

- Communications and media

- Philanthropy and fundraising

This work appeals to individuals who care deeply about the outdoor community, believe families deserve continued support after searches conclude, and want to help shape an organization responsibly from the ground up.

WSI is intentionally building slowly and carefully, with an emphasis on ethics, governance, operational discipline, and long-term credibility.

We are seeking board members and advisors who believe this work matters and who want to help shape the organization responsibly from the beginning.

If you or someone in your network aligns with one of the backgrounds we’re seeking, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
