Board Member Responsibilities

Attendance and Participation

Members are expected to:

• attend each meeting of the Board; if a member can't attend, she or he should notify the Board chair in advance;
• be an informed participant, and be willing to engage in civil and useful discussions and decision-making;
• take on some administrative Board tasks such as participating on a Board committee, serving as an officer, etc.;
• become familiar with the Board's SOP (a copy will be provided).

Fiscal Health

Since the Board is responsible for the fiscal health of WEFT, Board members should be prepared to help develop or participate in plans to raise funds for the station.

Volunteering

Board members are expected to spend additional time volunteering for WEFT activities or otherwise promoting/enhancing the image of WEFT.

For example, members might help with pledge drives, help with the annual record sale and similar events, and suggest ways to reach out to different parts of the community to increase the listener and member base of WEFT.
