* By completing the following questions, you are expressing your interest in joining the Board of Directors for the 501(c)3 organization of Women for Sobriety, Incorporated. Board service is a serious commitment which carries legal responsibilities, including, according to the National Council of Nonprofits (www.councilofnonprofits.org):

Duty of Care: Take care of the nonprofit by ensuring prudent use of all assets, including facility, people, and good will;
Duty of Loyalty: Ensure that the nonprofit's activities and transactions are, first and foremost, advancing its mission; Recognize and disclose conflicts of interest; Make decisions that are in the best interest of the nonprofit corporation; not in the best interest of the individual board member (or any other individual or for-profit entity);
Duty of Obedience: Ensure that the nonprofit obeys applicable laws and regulations; follows its own bylaws; and that the nonprofit adheres to its stated corporate purposes/mission.

Appointment to the Board of Directors is made only through nomination and resolution of the board. Selection of board members is based on a wide variety of factors, including not only the applicant's skills, abilities, and dedication to the organization, but also the current needs of the board which may be influenced by current composition of the board and skills represented by sitting Directors.

As part of your application, you will need to email a copy of your most recent resume or curriculum vitae to [email protected].
