If you are one or more of the following, we’d like to talk to you:

• Energetic and entrepreneurial business people, who are not already overextended with other commitments, are eager to put their enthusiasm for the health and vibrancy of our community to work.

• Young applicants under the age of 45 from diverse backgrounds across the North Okanagan.

• Community leaders from different groups, ages, ethnicities and communities allow us to better represent the diversity of experience in our region and to make decisions that help us grow as an organization.

• Leaders (or past leaders) at our partner nonprofit agencies – social services, education, recreation, senior centres and youth services -are willing to share their knowledge about our community needs.

• Scholars/academics who want to put their expertise in community development, physical and mental health promotion, children, youth and families to work in the community.

If you hold yourself to high expectations, then you’ll find committee and board service very rewarding. We are looking for folks who will:

• Attend 6 board meetings annually AND/OR 3-4 annual committee meetings.

• Actively serve on one of our committees: Community Grants, Governance, Board Resource, Human Resource, and Investment.

• Advocate for our needs in the community and among your colleagues and peers.

• Demonstrate commitment to learning more about the community foundation movement as well as nonprofit governance.

Both committee and board member volunteers make a significant difference in strengthening the social fabric of our region.
