On-boarding First a Board Member will meet with a potential Board Member candidate as well as the ED. Board candidates are welcome to tour our facilities, attend an event, or shadow a meeting, meet with Committee Chairs in which they have interest as part of the process. The Board Member and ED agree to send the candidate to the Board Meeting Floor for a vote once all of the previous mentioned is complete. We require a Photo and a Bio to send to the Board to review prior to the vote and the floor is open to discussion. Once voted and approved to join the board, the ED and the Governance Committee Chair will set with the new Board Member and go through the Board Training Manual, By-Laws and other documents used in Board Meetings.
