Board Meetings

Attendance: Board Members are required to attend all board meetings. If an absence is necessary, Board Members will notify the President/Vice-President no less than 3 days in advance (if possible). In the event of an ongoing absence, they can take a leave of absence, during which time another board member would fulfill their responsibilities for them.

Meeting Participation: They will contribute to the monthly board meetings by providing advice and guidance for board activities. They will also fulfill a role (outlined in board roles) that aligns with their interests/skills. If they are filling an officer position, they will be available to help fill any gaps or can choose to lead a committee if they wish. If they are in a Committee Lead position, they will be responsible for organizing and executing the responsibilities of that committee, including directing volunteers.

Term Details

Term length: Board seats will operate on a two year term. If someone is replacing an outgoing board member, they should be brought to the two meetings prior to the outgoing board member’s last meeting.

Term limit: A board member should serve no more than two consecutive unless vacating their seat would leave open an important role. In the event of this, the board can vote to approve an additional term while a replacement is recruited. Board members can serve no more than three consecutive terms. If they would like to serve again, they can reapply 2 years after their resignation.
