The Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of The Center for Women and Families plays an important role in ensuring the organization is fiscally sound, well managed and provides quality services. The Board is composed of various community members who live or work in one of the six towns The Center provides services to. The size of the Board can vary from 15 – 30. Board members are elected at the annual meeting, which takes place in April, and serve a three-year term. A Board member can serve up to two consecutive terms. Board members are expected to serve on a least one committee of the Board, attend monthly Board meetings (generally the second Monday of each month at 5:00 p.m.) and contribute financially to the organization. Generally, Board members are recruited based on their previous experience volunteering for The Center, their experience on other Boards and the expertise they can provide. Board expertise is needed in the areas of fundraising, business management, finance, technology, human resources, strategic planning, public relations, and advocacy.
