- Committee Work (as applicable): Generally monthly meetings and/or by email/Slack
- Donations: Members will be solicited for a cash or in-kind donation; 100% participation is sought; however, this is not a requirement; the amount is optional but we ask that Board members consider what level of support is possible for them.
Inward Bound does not want financial need to inhibit anyone from serving on our Board of Directors. In turn, Board members may be compensated for their time or serve in a volunteer capacity. It is also Inward Bound’s strong preference that the Board Treasurer serve in a volunteer capacity in order to prohibit real or perceived conflict of interest.
