Rowbuffalo.com

We are looking for motivated, reliable individuals interested in being on our Board of Directors. This position is voluntary – there is no financial compensation.

The board of directors is legally and ethically responsible for all activities of the organization. To that end it:

• Determines how the organization will carry out its mission through long and short-range planning
• Recruits, orients, and develops board members
• Evaluates its performance and overall performance of the organization in achieving the mission
• Establishes policies for the effective management of the organization

Responsibilities include:

• Attendance at either an early morning meeting or evening meetings in downtown Buffalo, NY. The board meets approximately 9 times a year for about 90 minutes per meeting.
• Volunteers for and willingly accepts assignments and completes them thoroughly and on time.
• Stays informed about BSRA matters, prepares themselves well for meetings, and reviews and comments on minutes and reports.
• Leverage connections, networks, and resources to develop collective action to fully achieve the organization’s mission.
• The Board as a whole is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the BSRA by directing its affairs. In addition to these requirements for all directors, the non-executive directors are expected constructively to challenge and help develop strategy, to participate actively in the decision-making process of the Board, and to scrutinize the performance of management in meeting agreed goals and objectives.

Also, as a board member, we expect participation in one or more of the board committees. If appointed to a board committee, Non-Executive Directors will be advised of the committee terms of reference, and any specific additional responsibilities involved.
