Community Builders for Monterey County is seeking two passionate individuals this year, who understand the incredible value that volunteers bring to communities. While we truly value nonprofit experience, it is not required that you have served on a previous nonprofit board. If you are familiar with board best practices, have a strong understanding of the nonprofit community of Monterey County, and you are able to work well with a diverse group of creative, out-of-the-box professionals creating big impact, we'd love to connect!
Your commitment is about 5 hours a month (which includes a monthly board meeting,) and a yearly working retreat prior to the beginning of our fiscal year (usually during the summer.) We also would love for you to grow so incredibly passionate about our mission, that you want to share it with your colleagues and friends to help grow our support base.
In addition to general board member expectations and responsibilities, we ask that our board of directors have an interest in positively affecting at least one of these following areas, with a primary focus:
- health and wellness
- sustainability & conservation (currently seated but ending term: Erin Morita)
- animal welfare
- arts & culture
- food security
- housing & basic needs
- education (currently seated: Dr. Lee Ritscher)
- aging & senior care (seat currently being appointed)
If you have nonprofit experience, or have prior board officer experience, we would love to discuss the possibilities!
