A board is more than a collection of individuals. It is an entity that governs, approves strategy and engages in robust discussion and debate on relevant issues. It must act as a single entity. As such, the personality traits you bring to the board will help us to ensure that, when added to our current board members, will enhance the ability of the board members to work together as a governing body. Examples of the traits expected of board members include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Collaborative

• Facilitative style
• Enthusiastic
• Comfortable speaking in front of groups
