Position Overview
Job Description: The Montpelier Performing Arts Hub is seeking to grow our Board of Directors. As a startup non-profit organization, our organization is very much in its entrepreneurial phase: actively workshopping business models, creating new systems, fundraising, and renovations. We are seeking individuals with legal, accounting, philanthropic, entrepreneurial, and development skills to support our progress. Visit our website to learn more about us: www.mpa-hub.org
Meetings: We are a working board. The Board of Directors meets monthly for formal Board of Directors meetings. Once a quarter, the monthly board meeting is held on-site as a mandatory in-person meeting. In-person meetings are 2 hours in length. The remaining board meetings are held virtually and are scheduled for 1.5 hours at the most. Our current meeting time is on the first Tuesday of each month starting at 7pm. In-person meetings will be held in January, April, July, and October.
Time & Giving Expectations: As a Board member, you are expected to attend the meetings as outlined above. In addition, Board members are also required to attend a yearly in-person retreat, attend at least two Hub-presented events per year, and are asked to support the organization either financially or through volunteer capacity in addition to their regular Board duties. Like most non-profit organizations, we strive for 100% Board participation in the financial support of the organization—an important metric for potential donors and grantors. We ask each individual to give a gift that is meaningful to them and within their capacity.
Terms: We are seeking 2 and 3-year term contracts.
To Apply: Please submit a letter of interest to Board President, Kianna Bromley ([email protected]). The current board of directors will review all applicants and request interviews as needed.
Desired Skills: General Board Governance, Nonprofit Financials, Fundraising/Development, Legal, HR, Marketing/Communications, Strategy/Business Planning
