- Professional growth and networking: Collaborate with peers across the housing, nonprofit, and education sectors while strengthening your leadership and governance experience.

We welcome nominations of individuals who:
- Share a commitment to expanding access to postsecondary education for residents of affordable housing.
- Bring expertise in one or more areas such as nonprofit governance, finance, fundraising, education, student services, affordable housing management, legal/compliance, marketing/communications, or community outreach.
- Demonstrate sound judgment, integrity, and a collaborative leadership style.
- Can dedicate time to governance, strategic planning, and fundraising activities.
Board responsibilities and time commitment
- Attend quarterly board meetings (typically virtual).
- Attend one annual in-person meeting/event (typically aligned with a December scholarship fundraising event)
- Serve on at least one standing committee
- Participate in committee work between meetings as needed
- Support fundraising efforts (e.g., fundraiser sales, sponsorship outreach, donor introductions, event participation)
- Assist with fundraising and outreach efforts; contribute to development strategies to sustain and grow scholarship funding.
