Thank you for your interest in joining the Connect Marquette Board of Directors! The deadline to complete this application is Friday, October 8th. Here are some things to know about the Board as you complete the application below.
1. The mission of Connect Marquette is to facilitate the growth of talent, connections, community, and leadership opportunities in Marquette County.
2. We were established by and are a sub-organization under the Lake Superior Community Partnership (LSCP). This means that we share resources and guidelines with the LSCP.
3. We are a working but volunteer Board. This means that we don't have a large team of staff to execute the work of the organization. Instead, we are the ones working to make sure that the organization meets the members' needs by planning, coordinating, and executing events (networking, professional development, and volunteer events) as well as marketing the events. In addition, we plan and manage the budget for the organization with the help of the Lake Superior Community Partnership's Financial Controller. We also run two flagship events, the Iron Range Roll and the Connect Conference.
4. Each board member has a role on the board and oversees some aspects of the organization. Positions that we are looking to fill are marked with an asterisk in the application. You can see the list of board roles and duties here:
