RECLAIM Board of Directors & Committees
RECLAIM is looking to strengthen its current Board and Committees by adding members who are dedicated to the cause and mission of RECLAIM and able to commit time and talent to the organization. If you don’t have board experience, a committee is a great way to learn more about service while supporting the work of RECLAIM by focusing on specific areas, including programs, finance, governance, and development.
If you have board experience or feel you are ready to serve on a board, RECLAIM is also looking for board members. While not necessary, experience in mental health, governance, or accounting/finance are beneficial. RECLAIM desires to have a board that is reflective of the community we serve, so persons of color and members of the LGBTQ community are encouraged to apply.
What’s the difference between RECLAIM board service and committee service?
Board members provide organizational leadership, direction, and oversight to maximize RECLAIM’s ability to chieve its mission. The Board of Directors is the ultimate decision-maker for the organization, hiring, supporting, and evaluating the executive director who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the organization. Committee members support the work of RECLAIM’s Board of Directors and staff through their work towards specific, subject-matter goals. Committees currently include: Program; Finance; Governance; and Development.
