Project details

What we need
  • Review of current board policies and procedures
  • Documents that establish strong governance practices
  • New or revised policies that clearly define the role of the board and its relationship to the Organization
What we have in place
  • We currently have 12 members on the board, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a board obligations letter, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,610 , allowing us to Convene a regional training meeting for chapter coleaders and members (for instance in Chicago, metro DC or metro NYC).

We have grown 250% in just a few years. We are a different org today than a few years ago, yet our board has not changed with these needs. We do not have any philanthropists and/or well connected members and very few board members help with development. While we have a few members who are actively involved, most are not. We do not have a governance document and we lack roles and responsibilites.
