ORGANIZATION SEEKING

Community minded individuals interested in applying their skills to help guide our not-for-profit organization.  Some of our current needs are those with professional and/or personal experience in areas that include finance, marketing, fundraising and grant writing.  No prior board experience necessary.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF A BOARD MEMBER

Our board members are asked to participate in all board meetings and may be asked to work on a committee assigned to perform focused work.  The average commitment is 3 hours monthly.  In addition, we also like to have an annual, one-day retreat to review and update our strategic plan.

MEETING DATES/TIMES/LOCATIONS

The board meets the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 6-8 PM.  We have recently been meeting via ZOOM and plan to continue this style meeting for the time being.
