Board members are responsible for attending regularly scheduled meetings, providing organizational governance and support for our league leadership, participating on board committees, staying informed on organizational activities, and working in good faith with board members and league members to achieve our goals.  Our board needs a variety of skills and experience, with a particular emphasis in the areas of legal, financial, real estate, and interpersonal expertise. 

Collectively, the board embraces a culture of inquiry, values transparency, accountability, and safety, and recognizes the importance of owning mistakes and celebrating hard work.  These values are the foundation for our interactions with board members, league members, and the communities we seek to serve.  Additionally, board members must have a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, with preferred experience in fostering cultural change to support an organization that seeks to be anti-racist, trans-inclusive, and encouraging of the interpersonal growth of our board, league members, and volunteers.
