Board Member – Duties and Responsibilities

We look for board members who understand health care for people who are experiencing homelessness or are indigent. Our board members have a passion for our mission, and are willing to commit their time to attending board meetings, committee meetings, strategic planning sessions, and special events. Board members should be team players who listen well and consider issues thoughtfully. In addition, they should not have a conflict of interest with the organization, staff, or other board members.
