Healing Species Seeks Bright, Eager Board Members
Healing Species is looking to add bright, eager "volunteer employees" to their organization to build and strengthen their board and future board committees. Below is a description of the type of potential board member or committee member they are looking for:
Board Member:
· Someone who totally buys into their mission and purpose: "The Healing Species is an 11-week violence intervention/character and compassion education curriculum program which goes to public schools, alternative which to understand and overcome abuse, neglect, and grief whie teaching life skills in self-esteem, conflict-resolution, anger management, respect for the feelings of others, and in gaining success through acts of compassion and responsibility instead of returning "violence for violence." See www.healingspecies.com for pictures, a sample lesson and more information!
· Willing to give 8-10 hours per month for board participation per month.
· Would love to be part of an organization which intercepts violence and crime by teaching empathy and love, where lives are changed and successes are made possible.
· Is open to discussions about animal welfare and stewardship. (For example, they teach children about spaying and neutering through a Cat Game we play, and they show a video of chimpanzees in the wild, then see them in cages for medical research after given AIDS, malaria, etc.. and ask the question - is this the best we can do? Just because everyone goes along with it, does it make it right?)
· Is open to faith-based organizations. They take a secular curriculum into schools, but it is unapologetically based on principles of love, compassion, being the bigger person by taking the higher road, etc. -- all from God's principles.
· Has experience, wisdom and talents to offer (fundraising, technology, animal rescues (a by-product of our work), management, community involvement, etc.)
· The Board members are to act in a governing position seeing that the mission and purpose is being upheld in all projects and activities, monitor program performance and impact, oversee compliance with laws, regulations and contractual obligations, safeguarding assets from misues, and ensuring maxium use of resources, financial oversight, approving a fundraising strategy and monitoring its effectiveness.
· Support roles would include contributing and assisting in raising funds, acting as ambassadors to the community on behalf of their organization, volunteering and volunteer recruitment, advising staff in areas of expertise, and lending names and personal credibility to their organization.
