What do we ask of Trustees?
The time commitment for Trustees is typically five to ten hours per month. Board terms are three years and Trustees may serve two consecutive terms.
We ask that Trustees do the following:
- Be a passionate advocate for public education.
- Understand the organizational mission, vision, bylaws, and policies.
- Participate in the development and refinement of strategic goals and objectives.
- Participate as a proactive driver and doer in fundraising and outreach activities.
- Donate time, expertise, energy and, where able, financial and other resources to support the Foundation.
- Review progress of programs and stay abreast of factors influencing the organization.
- Approve annual operating budget and provide resource and financial oversight of the organization. Ensure legal and ethical integrity. Sign annual conflict of interest disclosure.
- Participate in the supervision and annual performance review of the Executive Director.
- Attend at least 70 percent of the regularly scheduled Board meetings (generally 12-1:30 on the 4th Wednesday of each month). Lead and/or serve on Board committees and attend those meetings.
- Recruit and nominate new Trustees and participate in Board performance self-assessment (if applicable).
