Board of Director Requirements

If you're considering a run for the board, please read these requirements first.

The term of a Board appointment is one year.  At a basic minimum, board members are required to...

Attend monthly meetings. These meetings tend to be approximately 2 hours long.
Join one of the existing Committees: Grants, Visioning, Budget, Events, Communications, or Membership,
Attend one annual weekend strategic retreat to assist with the development of the Board's Strategic Plan.

Attend one or two General Meetings each year as well at the one Annual General Meetings each year.

Be available by email regularly. 

Offer informed opinions to decisions about budgets, processes, schedules, and projects.

Follow Robert's Rule of Order and help keep our meetings on track.

Be present and involved in the community in some way.
All board seats are effectively members-at-large, representing the community in general. Seats are not tied to executive positions, which are chosen annually, though board members are encouraged to pursue executive positions that interest them.

Board membership is limited to 3 year term, we've found that most new board members spend their first year figuring how best to serve, then really kick into high gear in their second and third years.
