Board Member Application
For the Children (FTC) commits 100% of the money raised to the purchase of school supplies. The ability to make this claim and to continue to operate the organization with minimal overhead is due to the commitment of its working Board of Directors. In order to maintain this high degree of involvement, board members are asked, prior to being accepted to the board, to understand and agree to the responsibilities they will assume. Those responsibilities include:
To commit to serving a minimum two-year term
To attend monthly board meetings
To serve on at least one (1) standing committee
To participate in fund development thereby assuring the sustainability and growth of the organization
To attend special called meetings/retreats
To make a minimum financial donation yearly to support FTC’s administrative expenses, currently $200/year
FTC board members serve two-year staggered terms. Each nominee is required to have attended one board meeting as a guest, served as a FTC volunteer, or actively served on a FTC subcommittee. Nominees must complete this board application form, which is submitted to the board for consideration. Board members may re-apply for board membership at the end of their two-year term. Estimated time commitment over a period of one year is equal to 40+ hours; 2 hours/month for board and/or committee meetings, 4 hours/month in July and August that includes the drive and distribution and 6 hours for special meetings/retreats.
For The Children is actively looking for individuals to join the board of directors. If you are interested in joining, please fill out the application and sent it to ftcsupplies@gmail.com.
