Position Title: Board Member Role of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors meets monthly to consider issues related to maintaining and developing the Garden. Board members contribute their ideas for addressing these issues and for creating programs to make the Garden more accessible to the community and to involve the community more with the Garden’s affairs. The Foundation publishes a quarterly newsletter that is produced by the Board. Board members manage development projects, they raise funds, they advise on the design of new areas of the Garden, and on the contents of the Foundation’s website and social media posts. They plan and execute special events in the Garden like the Ice Cream Social and Plant Sale. The Board manages the Foundations funds. The Foundation has both an Executive Director and a person who coordinates and manages rental and volunteer events at the Garden, both part-time, but a great deal of the work of the Foundation is done by the Board members. Time Commitment: The Highline Botanical Garden Foundation Board meets once a month on the first Wednesday at the North SeaTac Park Community Center. Each Board member is expected to take part in some of the various activities of the board: planning and executing events at the Garden, producing the newsletter, contributing design and development ideas, fundraising, and any of the many tasks that need doing to keep the Garden a vibrant community asset. However no Board member is expected to help with everything. We each have our interests and abilities and work best within those parameters. The Board’s unpaid officers contribute the most time to the organization, ranging from the President, which at present could easily be a full time job, through the Treasurer, easily a part-time job managing the small payroll, keeping the books, and managing the budget; the Secretary, who records the proceedings of the Board’s meetings and organizes the digital files and paper files that document the Board’s activities; and the Vice President, who at present is the lead on event planning and execution. As they say, many hands make light work, and it is our expectation that as the Board grows, the time burden on any one member, including the officers, will be at least somewhat reduced. Funding Commitment: All Board members are asked to support the Foundation financially by becoming paid members and are encouraged to support the Foundation’s work financially. However, we recognize that not every Board member is able not to make a major financial contribution to the Garden, and that contributions of time add precious value to our work. Satisfaction: Every Board member of the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation shares the joy of watching the Garden grow, bringing beauty to an area that has needed a place of respite for a long time, and reminding visitors the ordinary people can do extraordinary things with plants. We’re located in a SeaTac neighborhood with families who have come to love the North SeaTac Park and the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden. We are happy that you have expressed an interest in the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation. If you would like to join us on the Board, please complete and return the following Board Candidate Profile to:
