Support & Availability

As a board member, you are giving your time and expertise to support organizational excellence. The board term of service is three years, with an option to renew that service for an additional term. Board members are expected to attend monthly board meetings, as well as engage in committee meetings and related work.

Board members are expected to make a personally significant financial contribution to the annual fund each year. Additionally, each board member should maintain an active Morgan membership. Please know that the amount of the contribution is less important than the act of donating. It is important to funders to see 100% financial support of Board members, proof we believe in the mission of the organization. Please feel free to discuss this with the board chair at any point.

Please consider attending exhibition openings, outreach events, and the annual fundraiser(s). Please indicate if you have obligations or restrictions at any point of the year making this difficult. We try to ensure board representation at as many events as possible.
