Hi Britt,
Great to see you decided to go ahead and submit your candidacy! By way
of context, I'd say the minimum time commitment is around 2 hours a
week. We have a 1hr meeting every 2 weeks, and try to use the
alternative weeks as work sessions to make progress on the board's
projects. You need a little more time to stay on top of e-mails,
proposals, etc. Any more time-consuming activities such as holding an
officer post or taking part in specific projects/working groups is in
addition to this, but also entirely up to you. Now the Foundation has a
larger staff team, we're trying to keep the board streamlined in this
way to allow people to contribute in a more regular board member
advisory capacity, rather than becoming default volunteers for
everything and anything. (I certainly wouldn't be able to commit time
on that open-ended basis!) Hope this helps.
Thanks,Rob
