Board members are legally required to uphold the Duty of Care, Duty of Loyalty, and Duty of Obedience. These duties ensure responsible governance, ethical decision-making, and adherence to the Foundation’s mission and applicable laws.

The Board of Directors governs the organization and provides oversight of leadership, finances, and strategic direction. Officers include a Chair/President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Directors-at-Large.

The Founder serves as Executive Director and manages daily operations. The Board is responsible for evaluating performance and approving compensation in a transparent and documented manner, with all conflicted individuals recused from related decisions.

The Board meets at least quarterly. Directors are expected to attend meetings, review materials in advance, participate in discussions, and act as ambassadors for the organization.

Board members must disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from deliberations or votes where such conflicts exist.

Board members support fundraising through advocacy, introductions, and strategic guidance. Personal financial contributions are encouraged but not mandatory.

Directors typically serve two- or three-year terms and may be reappointed. Annual self-evaluations help ensure effective governance.
