GUIDELINES FOR BOARD MEMBERS
Thank you for considering a board position with Nanuet and Beyond. We are looking for people who are passionate about being a part of “enhancing the educational experience for all” in our local communities. Nanuet and Beyond is a small local charity providing an annual grant of $1,500 to a local graduating senior in need. We work closely with the Nanuet School District for an annual Art & Culture Exposition and are meeting with the Clarkstown Schools to find common areas of partnership. We hope to expand our reach, to increase that amount or number of activities grants, and fundraising opportunities moving forward.

What you can expect as a prospective board member:
- An interview with a current board member so we can discuss our goals and expectations and make sure potential board members know as much as possible before committing. During the interview we want to, hear your goals, expectations, and questions, as well.
- You are welcome to attend board meetings before committing, to see us in action.
- Please feel free to reach out to current board members to ask questions so you have a clear idea going forward of what to expect.
- Review our website to find information including our history, current board member bios, past events, etc.
What you can expect as a board member:
- Monthly meetings – we request that all board members attend all board meetings which are held monthly, generally on the second Wednesday of the month (with some exceptions) at 7 PM. We do of course understand that other plans come up from time to time and that people might miss a meeting. We will provide you with agreed meeting dates in advance, so you can plan accordingly.
- You will receive an agenda for the meeting ahead of time and minutes of the last meeting for you to read in advance, so you are fully informed and ready for discussions at the meeting.
- We enjoy lively discussions and debates at our board meetings. We welcome everyone’s ideas and opinions so that we have a full picture of what everyone is thinking before we undertake new activities and ideas as well as revisit existing activities, events, etc.
- Each board member is asked to attend as many of our member events as possible and to help wherever possible; we are a hands-on board. Again, we understand that we all have personal and business commitments and can’t be at everything.
- Each board member is asked to eventually chair an initiative and take it on as their responsibility, or initially act as a co-chair. The entire board supports each activity and event, but each board member is asked to assume a task or event. This could be an existing initiative/fundraiser event or a new one that you want to develop.
