Time Commitment: 

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

Staff Support: 

  • Associate Board members will receive regular, timely, and accurate information from Oak-Leyden’s 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”).
