Donegal Substance Abuse Alliance (DSAA) is seeking board members.
DSAA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports families affected by addiction, disseminates information on where and how to obtain treatment for addiction, supports those in recovery, and educates the community about substance abuse and addiction.
The board supports the work of DSAA and provides purpose-based leadership and strategic governance. Specific board member responsibilities include serving as an adviser to the executive director; evaluating the impact and regularly measuring performance and effectiveness of the operations; approving the annual budget, audit reports, and material business decisions; being informed of and meeting all legal and fiduciary responsibilities; contributing to annual performance evaluations of the executive director; partnering with the executive director and other board members to ensure that board resolutions are carried; serving on committees and task forces and taking on special assignments; acting as a good ambassador for the organization; and identifying and recruiting additional board members.
DSAA board members should consider DSAA a philanthropic priority. So that DSAA can credibly solicit contributions from foundations, organizations, and individuals, board members are encouraged but not required to make an annual contribution.
Selected board members will have achieved leadership stature in business, government, philanthropy, or the nonprofit sector. Ideal candidates will have the following qualifications: a commitment to and understanding of DSAA's beneficiaries; personal qualities of integrity, credibility, and a passion for improving the lives of DSAA's beneficiaries; ability to cultivate relationships and build consensus among diverse individuals; experience with leadership accomplishments in business, government, philanthropy, or nonprofits; and experience in fundraising for nonprofit organizations.
Service on DSAA's board of directors is without remuneration, except for nominal expenses incurred in carrying out board members' duties.
Board members will serve a three-year term to be eligible for reappointment for one additional term. Board meetings will be held quarterly, and committee meetings will be scheduled and held when appropriate.
