Leadership Profile Applicants for board membership should have experience leading people, projects, programs, or companies. The Coalition relies on its directors to guide it on establishing policies, implementing strategies and achieving goals. The critical nature of a director's oversight requires the director to be able to commit time, understand and offer suggestions and comments on the direction of N.C.P.C. Time Board directors must be able to commit the time necessary to responsibly fulfill their commitment to the Coalition. This includes hands on participation in the day to day operations, attending board meetings, serving on committees to which they are assigned, showing up at fund raising events, making donation pick ups and doing whatever else the organization requires. Area of expertise Balanced boards require a range of experience. Typically, the coalition tries to ensure that their Board of Directors can represent key areas that need proper oversight of activities for the kind of work they do. These include expertise in such areas as legal, financial management, human resources, or fund raising or philanthropic activities. The Coalition needs board expertise focused on marketing, business, faith-based, fund raising and social service expertise. Relationships A key asset of a board member is the relationships she/he has established and can use to help the coalition accomplish its goals. This could be access to community leaders and groups, to individuals with resources, to grassroots organizations, or to government contacts. The Coalition board especially looks to the ability of each board member to provide relationships that aid in raising funds Diversity The N.C.P.C. board seeks to be representative of the constituents that we serve, including ethnic diversity, age and sex.
