Central Coast Regional Representative
BOARD OPPORTUNITY
Every year, our Members participate in the important process of
electing leaders to serve a three-year term on our governing
Board of Directors. This is a pivotal time for our Board, as we
work with Staff to build a DV community that truly represents all
voices, and transform our statewide system in response to the
evolving needs of survivors, families and communities.
Our Board plays an important governance role acting as the formal
representative of the public in setting strategic direction,
ensuring adequate resources to support the mission, monitoring
impact and dutifully executing its fiduciary responsibilities. As
leaders, Board members also support the organization by
contributing their time, talent and wisdom as ambassadors who
represent the organization in the community raising funds and our
public profile. Our Board does not get involved in programmatic
decisions, operations, or direct policy or advocacy work.
Instead, our Board work involves big picture governance of the
organization and Board engagement and recruitment through service
on the following committees:
- Governance
- Finance
- Audit
- Elections
- Engagement
- Race, Power, and Privilege
- Other ad hoc committees as needed
We need your help finding strong leaders who are committed to the
Partnership’s mission and willing to commit 6-12 hours per month
toward work on the Board. Check out our
Board Qualifications and
Frequently Asked Questions for more information about who
should apply.
