FUNCTION:  The WIN Board of Directors (BoD) is responsible for the strategic direction of WIN, including:

• Setting policies, assigning priorities and exercising leadership that will help WIN achieve its mission, goals and objectives.
• Establishing the structure and composition of committees needed to fulfill WIN’s purpose.
• Approving and managing the budget; and
• Building WIN's membership and the resulting Grants Pool.

TIME COMMITMENT:  The BoD is active year-round; regular Board meetings are monthly and committee meetings are ad hoc.  BoD members are encouraged to actively participate in WIN functions.  BoD members serve a 2-year term and can be re-elected.  An average time commitment is four  hours per week (16 hours per month).

COMMENT:  The Board seeks women comfortable in a leadership role on an active Board who are motivated to guide WIN to new levels of excellence in delivering our mission to "make a significant impact in New Hanover County."  We are looking for Board members who bring a strategic mindset, a get-it-done approach, and strong interpersonal skills, combined with a collaborative, inclusive style. Broad knowledge and relationships across the non-profit landscape in NHC OR Non-profit leadership experience and communications expertise are highly desirable skills/experience.

As our membership is increasingly diverse across many dimensions (age, stage of life, non-profit/for-profit, work-at-home/employed/retired, professions, race, religion, orientation, etc.), we want to see that diversity reflected on the Board.  

BoD members must be WIN members in good standing.
