Board Of Directors

Board Of Directors

All of our Board Of Directors are VOLUNTEERS.

Board members are the fiduciaries who steer the organization towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and financial management policies, as well as by making sure the team has adequate resources to advance its mission.

The board of directors have three primary legal duties known as the “duty of care,” “duty of loyalty,” and “duty of obedience.”

In sum, these legal duties require that nonprofit board members:

  1. Take care of the nonprofit by ensuring prudent use of all assets, including facility, people, and good will; and provide oversight for all activities that advance the nonprofit’s effectiveness and sustainability. (legal “Duty of due care”)
  2. Make decisions in the best interest of the nonprofit corporation; not in his or her self-interest. (legal “Duty of loyalty”)
  3. Ensure that the nonprofit obeys applicable laws and acts in accordance with ethical practices; that the nonprofit adheres to its stated corporate purposes, and that its activities advance its mission. (legal “Duty of obedience”)
