BOARD MEMBER EXPECTATIONS

We all recognize that board members are busy and that this is a volunteer job, however the expectation that a board member attends meetings having reviewed any required documentation ready to discuss and vote where necessary is critical in ensuring the board is effective and that decisions can be made in a timely manner and not take up more time than is necessary.
Board members are expected to promote CAFKA whenever possible, within the context of their everyday business and community involvement and to report to the board and there is an expectation that board members, wherever possible, will submit the names of individuals and corporations regarding fundraising possibilities.
