  • Each member agrees to a two-year term. The maximum is five (5) consecutive terms. This allows for an option of ten (10) years of board involvement before a Director retires, during which MedMentor can reap the benefits of each Director’s mature judgement and deep knowledge of the organization’s programs, history, and ethos.
On-boarding
  • Step 1. Our CEO has an initial phone call with the prospective board member. During this call, he reviews the organization's history, vision/mission, goals, and progress to date. Our CEO also learns about the personal and professional background of the candidate and why he or she wishes to join the board.
  • Step 2. The candidate then meets in-person with our Vice President of Governance (VPG). During this meeting, our VPG reviews our internal processes, governance structure, leadership style, etc.
  • Step 3. The MedMentor Board of Directors votes on whether to invite the candidate to the board. The candidate is then notified via email. If the decision is made to invite the candidate to join the board, he or she will be officially welcomed at the next in-person board meeting. The member will sign the Board Member Agreement and be presented with a New Member welcome packet at this time.
