Yours Humanly is looking for board members to serve on its Board of Directors. Serving on the Yours Humanly Board of Directors is an extraordinary opportunity for an individual who is passionate about strengthening leadership and governance in the nonprofit sector, particularly the individual who wants to make a profound difference through leadership and action in the lives of children in need.

Our board members champion the importance of exceptional board leadership and believe-as we do-that each and every organization needs a strong and effective board to fully realize its potential for good. In addition to the standard roles and responsibilities of a board member, our board members are active advocates and ambassadors for the organization and are fully engaged in identifying and securing the financial resources and partnerships necessary for Yours Humanly to advance its mission.

Board members are expected to attend (or call in) to one board meeting per month. They are expected to read board materials in advance of board meetings and come prepared to ask questions and participate in discussions.

Board members are expected to serve on at least one board committee and to actively participate in committee work.

Board members are expected to play an active role in securing the financial resources necessary for Yours Humanly to achieve its mission. Board members are expected to leverage professional relationships and connections to help the development committee and staff identify and solicit potential funders, as well as directly invest in Yours Humanly’s work by making a personal contribution each year.

Board members are expected to responsibly represent Yours Humanly to their respective communities and to advocate for Yours Humanly’s mission, programs, and services as appropriate.
