Board Role - Human Resources

This Board Member is responsible for advising and providing council on legal documentation, necessary filings, salary scale compliance, hiring process, and personnel policies. This individual will also contribute to the annual strategy and as needed, lead a HR committee pending staff needs. S/He will work closely with the Board President and Executive Director to ensure HR goals are met.

The HR Board Member is elected at the annual meeting (May) of the organization to hold office for a two-year term, or until a successor is elected and qualified, and is eligible for re-election for one additional consecutive two-year term.

Prior to May, this role would start as a Committee role until the vote is held this spring. This allows for the individual to get to know the organization with minimal commitment to see if it’s a good fit.

Requirements:

• Experience in human resources (preferably at a nonprofit but not required)
• Understanding of hiring process and documentation
• Proven track record of success
• Highly collaborative in approach, entrepreneurial in approach; demonstrate strong written and oral communication skills

Responsibilities:

• Manages, the staff paperwork for compliance needs.
• Works with the Executive Director and board members to ensure that appropriate updates and reports are made available to the Board on a timely basis.
• Assists the board member in preparing for the annual events and campaigns (2 yearly)
• Works with the Executive Director to develop best policies for staff and volunteers.
• Works with the Executive Director to develop long-term staffing strategies.
• Keeps currently informed of legal, regulatory and sector developments relating to the Board’s development responsibilities.
• Planning aspects of staff/volunteer cultivation strategies.

Timing: We anticipate 5 hrs of assistance over the month except when there is an upcoming event (events run in October and April). This role would be a Board role, participating in the Event Committee until May when a new HR board member would be voted in. In the meantime, this will allow for someone new to come on and get used to the organization with minimal commitment.

Meetings: Board meetings are quarterly and Committee meetings may be once a month or skip months pending the work needed.
