Overview
The Pathway To Hope Board of Directors governs the overall execution of the organization’s mission.  Principally, the Board manages organizational finances and sets long term priorities for programs.  Additionally, the Board oversees the Executive Director, who is responsible for day-to-day management of the programs.  Overall, the members of the Board contribute the educational, management, legal, and financial skills needed to ensure long term organizational stability and ensure year-to-year educational excellence for the PTH programs.

The Board of Directors has up to 15 voting members.  Terms are for two years and no more than three consecutive terms.

Board Member responsibilities include attendance at monthly board meetings and serving on Board subcommittees. Board members also hold a fiduciary responsibility for management of organizational capital and ensuring appropriate filings with federal, state, and local authorities consistent with PTH’s status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. PTH’s attendance policy allows for removal if three meetings are missed in a 12-month period.

Declaration of Candidacy
Board positions require a time and energy commitment that should not be underestimated.  Candidates are urged to consider personal priorities for the next year as well as ways for them to contribute to the development of the organization.
