As part of my responsibilities as a Board member, I will:
● represent the work and values of Bethany+Bridgeview to the community and act as an advocate for those we serve;
● attend at least 75% of board meetings and committee meetings;
● attend the annual Champion a Child event;
● make a substantial annual personal donation at a level that is meaningful to me;
● actively tell my friends and colleagues about my role on the board and my pride in the Bethany+Bridgeview mission and the impact on the community;
● actively participate in all fundraising activities;
● play an active role in the work of my committee to move the organization forward;
● act in the best interest of the organization and excuse myself from discussions and votes where I have a conflict of interest;
● maintain an active understanding of Bethany+Bridgeview operations and, as necessary, ask questions, and request more information;
● work in good faith with staff and other board members toward the achievement of our goals;
● volunteer at least one time per year to be present during daily operations of Bethany+Bridgeview;
● and sign and submit both the board member contract and the conflict of interest document.
I understand failure to fulfill these responsibilities could lead to my being removed from the board, as detailed in the Bylaws.
