Board Members Expectations
ProactiveBoard
– This board is positioned to be a proactive that speaks as one voice. The board will make both operational and strategic decisions and act as managers of the organization to help it grow. This is a good model because the Program Director is currently the only employee and most of the board currently were founding owners of AMEL. This approach will help the board, CEO, and program director to remain on the same page and speak with a single voice to donors, volunteers, and clients. This model is proactive in taking advantage of emerging opportunities and is especially valuable for entrepreneurial businesses.
