The Board of Directors governs the overall execution of the organization’s mission. Principally, the Board manages organizational finances and sets long term priorities for programs. Members of the Board contribute the educational, management, legal, and financial skills needed to ensure long term organizational stability and ensure year-to-year educational excellence for Stronger Together Foundation’s mission.
The Board of Directors has a minimum of 5 voting members. There is no term limit for Board Members. Board Member responsibilities include attendance at regular board meetings (second Tuesday of each month). Board members also hold a fiduciary responsibility for management of organizational capital and ensuring appropriate filings with federal, state, and local authorities consistent with the organization’s status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The attendance policy allows for removal if three consecutive meetings are missed without notice.
Declaration of Candidacy
Board positions require a time and energy commitment that should not be underestimated. Candidates are urged to consider personal priorities for the next year as well as the ways to contribute to the development of the organization.
Time and Financial Considerations

Board Meetings - Second Tuesday of each month
-
Fundraisers - board participation required for all fundraising events presented by Stronger Together Foundation
-
Donations - As with any Board, members will be solicited for a cash or in-kind donation; 100% participation is sought; the amount is optional but we ask that board members consider giving at a leadership level. Board members should maintain an active membership status during their term.
