Oak-Leyden Associate Board 

The Associate Board is composed of a group of emerging leaders who dedicate their own time, talents, networks, and resources to raise awareness and support the mission of Oak-Leyden. As an ambassador for the organization, each Associate Board member must express and demonstrate a commitment to the mission and vision of Oak-Leyden. 

Expectations:

  • Spread awareness of Oak-Leyden and its mission
  • Give or Get* $500 annually
  • Provide leadership and engagement in one fundraiser and one volunteer event
  • Attend and invite people from your network to Envision events
  • Solicit auction items for the annual Gala.

Benefits: 

  • Become a part of the Oak-Leyden family 
  • Network with the Oak-Leyden Governing Board Members
  • Recognition on website and related marketing materials 
  • Invitations to special events with Oak-Leyden 
  • Special programmatic opportunities. 

Time Commitment: 

  • Attend at least 75% of Associate Board meetings each year, held quarterly (4 total each year). 
  • Attend the varying number of committee meetings and special events. 

Staff Support 

  • Associate Board members will receive regular, timely, and accurate information from Envisions staff. 
  • Associate Board members will receive staff support in fulfilling their responsibilities, particularly as members access their networks to secure support and meet give/get requirements. 

* The “give-or-get” requirement is a “best practice” in the fundraising space and means that each associate board member is expected to donate a certain amount of money per year from their personal resources (“give”) or help raise money from others (“get”).
