Board Responsibilities & Structure

Project details

What we need
  • Document outlining relationship of board to your organization, including its role, responsibilities, and structure
  • Document defining the roles and responsibilities of individual board members, including empty seats if applicable
Additional details

We are a fairly new org still learning about the structure and type of Board that is best for our organization. Currently we have 3 Board members but could use assistance in shaping the roles, responsibilities, and dynamic of the Board and its relation to the Officers of the org.

What we have in place
  • We currently have our current list of Board expectations and Board letters, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a newly elected Board chair who is willing to learn with us, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,248 , allowing us to stay afloat considering that we don't currently have that amount of money to invest in our development..

Because we have a team of 5, our Board's influence is essential to the growth and impact of our organization.
