Board Membership: What Does it Mean?
Non-profit board membership is a unique opportunity which can provide great personal and professional fulfillment, while providing a positive impact within your community. However, board membership does not come without significant responsibility. Non-profit boards are responsible for creating and maintaining governance structure for a non-profit agency. Governance provides strategic leadership to a non-profit organization by setting direction, making policy and strategic decisions, overseeing and monitoring organizational performance, and ensuring overall accountability. In addition, board members have a “fiduciary responsibility” to the non-profits they serve. “Fiduciary responsibility” means to treat the resources of the non-profit as a trust and ensure that they are used in a manner that is reasonable, legal, and appropriate. The minimum requirements to exercise fiduciary responsibility include: the adoption of appropriate governance policies, a defined financial budget and policy to guide volunteers and staff, the creation of guidelines to report the fiscal state of the organization, and the engagement of a third party to independently review the organization. BENEFITS TO JOINING BOARDS Connections : You will collaborate and form relationships with other board members, many of whom may not be in your current professional network. Exposure : You will help manage issues and situations that impact the non-profit agency, allowing you to gain knowledge and experience.

Impact : You’ll help make a difference in an organization, a community, and the individuals served by the agency. Giving Back : Board service is a rewarding way to share skill sets and talents with non-profits that serve a particular mission. QUESTIONS TO ASK
“THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION HAS THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE CONDUCT AND PERFORMANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION. A BOARD MEMBER MUST MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS OF CONDUCT AND ATTENTION IN CARRYING OUT HIS OR HER RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE ORGANIZATION.”
1. What is the organization’s mission? 2. How often does the board meet? 3. Is a strategic plan in place? 4. How will my skill set impact the organization? 5. What are the fundraising requirements of directors?
AS A BOARD MEMBER, YOU HAVE THREE LEVELS OF LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY: DUTY OF CARE – Exercise reasonable care in making decisions as the steward of the organization and its assets. DUTY OF LOYALTY – Must act in the best interests of the organization when making decisions. DUTY OF OBEDIENCE – Must be faithful to the organization’s mission.
