I understand that serving on BetterLife’s Member Advisory Board is a privilege—not an entitlement.

If selected, I commit to:

Attending all scheduled meetings (virtual and in-person).
Completing assigned surveys and feedback forms.
Engaging with BetterLife Members across the country—not just those in my own member group.

Unless otherwise advised, the expected time commitment is 1–3 hours per month.

I understand that the purpose of the Member Advisory Board is transformational. It is not a platform for airing complaints. I will remain solution-focused, demonstrate positivity and growth, and reflect BetterLife’s mission in all interactions with fellow members.

I understand this is an unpaid volunteer role. While I may receive small thank-you notes or stipends for sharing insights, I do not expect monetary compensation for my time spent on Member Advisory Board activities.
