Be familiar with our budget and take an active part in the budget planning process.
Know and approve all policies and programs and oversee their implementation.
Take responsibility for making decisions on organization issues and board matters.
Interpret the organization’s work and values to the community, represent the organization, and serve as a spokesperson.

Should I fail to fulfill these commitments to the organization, I understand that the Board President will call upon me to discuss my responsibilities.
Should there come a time where I am no longer able to fulfill my obligations to the organization, it will be my responsibility to resign my position as a member of the Board of Directors.
As a board member, I understand that the organization will be responsible to me in the following ways:
I will be sent, without request, quarterly financial reports and an update of organizational activities that allow me to meet the “prudent person” standards of the law. Further, I expect that I will have information about programs and policies, goals and objectives as appropriate.
Opportunities will be provided for me to discuss with the Executive Director and the Board President the organization’s programs, goals, activities and status.
It is expected that board members and the Executive Director will respond in a straightforward fashion to questions that I feel are necessary to carry out my fiscal, legal and moral responsibilities to the organization.
