EEC envisions a future where each and every child of color attains birth-through-career success. We believe our state cannot and will not close the opportunity gap without hearing the voices of people of color, and we are building a movement of power within communities of color to advocate for an education system that promotes racial equity. EEC is founded, led, and staffed by people of color.

The board is required to meet a minimum of three times during the year. Currently, the Board will meet once a quarter, via conference call or Zoom/Microsoft Teams.

The responsibilities of the Board members include, but are not
limited to:

• Attend EEC Board meetings. This is governed by the by-laws.
• If a Board member misses more than three meetings, they can be asked to step down.
  • An organization cannot function if its Board fails to perform its duties. Therefore, it is essential to attend the meetings to take care of business.
  • EEC strives to be economical in use of meeting times, and to take care of as much business as possible in other ways (e.g., electronic communication)

• Be familiar with all EEC policies and activities.
• Become knowledgeable about the EEC budget and participating in the budget planning process.
• Participate in activities related to the realization of the EEC mission.
• Work to increase awareness of EEC
• Encourage collaboration between other organizations and EEC.
• Participate in the recruitment of new EEC general members, .committee members, committee chairs and officers.
• Support resource development for the EEC in whatever ways are best suited.
• Make every effort to attend the EEC annual retreat.
