This is an opportunity to help guide the vision, sustainability, and impact of our community. As many know, we are a 100% volunteer-run organization, and our board is a working board. This means we’re directly involved in all aspects of the programming we offer the community. Board terms are for 2 years. Some of the base board responsibilities are as follows:
- Attend monthly board meetings (3rd Tuesday of the month, 6-8 pm).
- Attend Pre Board board meeting the 2nd Tuesday of the month(5:30 to 6:30 pm.
- Participate in conversations reflecting the needs voiced by community within different settings
