Recovering Hands Board Of Directors Application

The purpose of this application is to enable the current Recovering Hands (RH) Non-Profit Board to make appropriate choices of Board Members for service to RH the Recovering Hands Board, and the local recovery community. Applicants interested in serving as a board member should first read and understand the expectations and rules of Board Membership, read and understand the By-Laws as found on http://recoveringhands.com/bod-by-laws, and submit a completed application. Applicants may also submit references or letters of recommendation for consideration if they so choose.

Recovering Hands Board Member Expectations

Board members are expected to:

  • Read the board report prior to each monthly board meeting
  • Attend and participate in monthly zoom meetings, 1 yearly in person meeting, and other social and/or fundraising events. (Contact the Board Secretary if you can’t attend. More than 2 consecutive meetings missed with no contact will likely result in you being moved from the board to an advisory position.)
  • Give Personal Commitments of time and money:
  • Our target is 100% board member participation. (The result of not participating will likely be your removal from the board to an advisory position.)

Board member giving is natural and necessary. Here are some reasons why: (https://boardsource.org/resources/personal-contributions/)

  • Board members of most charitable organizations are expected to participate in fundraising, including giving a personally significant financial gift.
  • By personally contributing, a board member recognizes their responsibility and demonstrates a commitment.
  • A board member who is also a donor will be more successful when asking others to give.
  • Many foundations only contribute to organizations where every board member is a contributor.
  • Participate in fundraising. That may include soliciting and making individual gifts to Recovering Hands, attending agency events, and bringing guests to events.
  • Introduce Recovering Hands to your network. This includes having your profile on our Board Member web page and being spotlighted on FB.
  • Share our FB posts to your network.
