About the Role

The Company is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering a connected and thriving community. The organization is currently seeking volunteer board members to support its mission of creating community and promoting growth. Board members play a crucial role in the administration of the organization, providing general oversight, adhering to established guidelines, and contributing to the board's fiduciary responsibilities. This includes voting on budgets, reviewing financial reports, and serving as ambassadors for the organization's work in the community. Board members are also expected to be actively involved in at least one of the organization's committees, which focus on various aspects of community development.

The ideal candidates for the board member positions at the company are individuals who are passionate about the community and its development. While all interested candidates are encouraged to apply, those with experience in housing, fundraising, communications, marketing, or grant writing are especially welcome. Board members must be committed to the organization's values of fairness, compassion, and collective community leadership. The role requires a three-year commitment, with the possibility of re-election, and a dedication to attending monthly board meetings and quarterly general membership meetings. Board members must reside in the community or have a business or organization within the community.
