A board is more than a collection of individuals. It is an entity that governs, approvesstrategy and engages in robust discussion and debate on relevant issues. It must actas a single entity. As such, the personality traits you bring to the board will help us toensure that we have a diversity of personality styles and traits that, when added toour current board members, will enhance the ability of the board members to worktogether as a governing body.

ADD TO THIS LIST OTHER ATTRIBUTES YOU BELIEVE ARE KEY TO YOUR BOARD’S SUCCESS

Among other responsibilities, board members play a key role in raising funds for our organization. It is an expectation of board service that you will introduce people in your sphere of influence to our work and invite them know and do more – as prospective volunteers, board members, staff and as donors. Our organization commits to providing you with the information and tools necessary for you to standas a vocal and visible ambassador for our work.Further, we expect every board member to make an annual financial commitment that is meaningful to you( Our suggested minimum donation is $750.00 per year). A financial commitment is feasible. I will discuss this with my husband.
