Volunteer Board members, of course, bring many skills and talents to their Board responsibilities. Organizational strengths in areas such as strategic planning, finance, marketing, fundraising, legal, communications, human resource development, etc. are welcome.
Individuals who are nominated and agree to stand for membership election to the Discovery School Board of Directors will be making a commitment to a two-year term. They will agree to attend monthly two- to three-hour Board meetings and to contribute an additional three to four hours a month to Board of Directors committee, task group or other Board-related volunteer work. Nominees for the Discovery School Board must be a member in good standing at the time of election to the board and throughout that person’s term of office.
Interested individuals may submit their candidacy or nominate others to the Discovery School Board by completing a Nomination Form
