Join the TASK Board
Board service is a volunteer experience that can have a huge impact on an organization and be very rewarding. It is an opportunity to channel your knowledge, skills and passion towards a mission you believe in. Board members act as an organization’s stewards and make decision on issues, policies and other matters involved with governance. Half of TASK’s board also has a child with a disability. Board responsibilities include:
- Representing the organization and acting as a spokesperson
- Attending board meetings, committee meetings, and special events
- Making personal financial contributions
- Actively participating in fundraising activities
- Working with staff and other board members as partners towards achieving organizational goals
