How the Board works:
The JCWC Board of Directors consists of approximately ten voting volunteer Directors and five non-voting Jurisdictional Representatives. The full Board of Directors meets six to eight times a year. One of the meetings is a full day retreat. Directors serve up to four two-year terms. Directors serve in a volunteer capacity and do not receive financial compensation.
Every year the following officers are elected from among board members: Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer. Committees are also created and meet as needed. Each Director is expected to serve on at least two committees. Current committees include Executive, Fundraising, Land Use, Governance, Real Estate, Community Inclusion, Interjurisdictional, Outreach, and Facilities.
In addition to Board meetings and committee work, Directors assist in fundraising efforts, attend key council events, and on occasion may work on special projects. A reasonable estimate of the time commitment to serve on the Board is approximately sixty hours per year.
