The call for nominations for EFry’s Board of Directors is now open.
The EFry Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors is seeking three new Board Members who are passionate about our mission and values to join our Volunteer Board.
Serving on the Board is an extraordinary opportunity for individuals who are passionate about EFry’s mission and who have a track record of leadership. Selected Board Members have achieved leadership stature in business, government, philanthropy, or the non-profit sector. Their accomplishments allow the Board to attract other well-qualified, high-performing Board Members.
The Board of Directors has the responsibility to oversee the conduct of the business of EFry and to provide strategic oversight and guidance to management. Each director serves on one of three Board committees: Finance and Audit, Human Resources, or Governance and Nominating. Day-to-day operations are led by the CEO, who works in tandem with the Board. This partnership is founded on a supervisory dynamic, with the Board maintaining an essential oversight function in their relationship with the CEO.
EFry is actively recruiting Directors who are:
- Collaborative leaders who understand our community’s needs and the significance of women-only services.
- Attentive listeners who are thoughtful in addressing complex issues such as long-term housing solutions for ex-prisoners.
- Committed individuals ready to dedicate time to at least four Board meetings a year, alongside committee meetings, planning sessions, and special events.
- Knowledgable about EFry’s mission and vision and willing to enhance our board’s effectiveness with expertise in finance and accounting, property and asset management, government relations, health, or social services and fund development.
EFry is strongly committed to equity and diversity within its community. We especially welcome applications from Indigenous persons, people of colour, persons with disabilities, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and others with the skills and knowledge to productively engage with diverse communities.
