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
What we have in place
  • We currently have board member agreement, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have board member code of conduct, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,248 , allowing us to focus more on our programs. We are involved in two campaigns for permanent protection, and other initiatives to protect the ecosystem. in the Eastern Sierra.

This project will help the board clarify board expectations and address board engagement. Board term limits could help with creating a diverse board.
