February - September

Draft of requirements for all Directors:

• Commit to a term of 1 year + 2 months for training a successor if necessary.
• Commit to 15-20 hours a month, depending on specific role
• Board Meetings
  • As a board member, it is your responsibility to attend 75% of our remote bimonthly (every other week) board meetings. That means you can miss a maximum of 7 meetings in a year (unless, of course, you've got an emergency). If you cannot attend, please give at least 24 hours advanced noticed. This is especially important if you are assigned to take meeting minutes, because I'll need to get someone to fill in.
  • If you cannot attend, it is also your responsibility for reading the meeting minutes on your own time. You'll find them here: https://base.nycuxpa.org/leadership-and-strategy/meetings
• Be comfortable with self-management and some ambiguity. This is a time of transition and experimentation.
