Board Operations & Systems

Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of existing board procedure, policy, set of guidelines, or system
  • Creation of one document outlining one procedure, policy, operations, or set of guidelines, for example: bylaws, board meeting procedure, succession planning guidelines, committee policies, board member orientation handbook, etc.
Additional details

We are looking for someone to help us update our board materials and assist us in creating a Board Handbook.

What we have in place
  • We currently have all the materials to be included in the handbook, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dedicated team members, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,298 , allowing us to support more young people returning to community through the arts!

Our organization is currently restructuring its board and creating/implementing more formal systems. We are in the process of actively recruiting and onboarding new board members so having a handbook will help introduce new board members to the organization and provide deeper context to our work in a much more organized and structured way.
