Board Recruitment Plan

Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of specific Organizational needs mapped to specific board roles
  • Candidate evaluation guide for prospective board members, including suggested vetting questions and timeline
  • Marketing tools and guidance on how to execute recruitment
  • Note: This project does not include actual board recruitment on the part of the Professional
Additional details

We are looking to expand our gala committee in Orange County, CA. We are also looking for a chair that has influence and is affluent.

What we have in place
  • We currently have six committee members, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have tons of resources including job descriptions, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,822 , allowing us to bring more programs and services to local cancer patients.

Our Orange County Gala event has had a very consistent donor base over the last decade. We are looking to diversify our committee roster in the hopes of creating a more diverse and sustainable donor base.

Our mission

The American Cancer Society’s mission is to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.

What we do

The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Our Global Headquarters are located in Atlanta, Georgia, and we have regional and local offices throughout the country to ensure we have a presence in every community.

While most people know us for our research, we do so much more. We attack cancer from every angle. We promote healthy lifestyles to help you prevent cancer. We research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatments. We fight for lifesaving policy changes. We provide everything from emotional support to the latest cancer information for those who have been touched by cancer. And we do it all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
