Volunteer Leadership Structure

The following is the volunteer leadership schedule.

Board Meetings are limited to board members and invited guests. The board has ultimate responsibility for ensuring the organization is solvent and advancing the mission. Board members serve 3 year terms and ~1/3 of the board is elected every year. Nominations for board members from membership are welcomed. Prospective board members are evaluated by the governance committee and confirmed by vote of the existing board. See Board List. Board meetings are quarterly and may take up any issue.
