East Bay Housing Organizations
Board Application Form

Thank you for your interest in serving on EBHO’s board of directors! We appreciate you filling out this brief application to give us a sense of your interest and background. The Board Development Committee will review applicants, talk with interested candidates, and develop a slate of nominations. The general EBHO membership will vote on the slate at the Annual Membership Meeting on November 6th, and elected board members will be seated in January 2020.

General expectations and information:

The board represents EBHO, has fiduciary responsibility; guides high-level strategy; hires, supervises, and supports the Executive Director; and assists with fundraising, policy, and outreach.
Board members are nominated by the board and elected and re-elected by the general membership. They serve terms of two years, and may serve up to three consecutive terms.
The board meets 7 times a year in two-hour meetings on the first Wednesday evening of the month (no regular meetings in January, March, May, July, or November). In addition, there is one 6-hour board/staff retreat in March. New board members attend an orientation meeting in January.
Board members are expected to attend EBHO’s Affordable Housing Week Kick-Off in May, our Annual Membership Meeting in November, and are encouraged to attend our Interfaith Breakfast in September.
Board members are not responsible to raise or donate (“give or get”) a specific dollar amount for EBHO. However, board members help sustain and grow EBHO so it is expected that they will pay membership dues, encourage their organizations to sponsor EBHO events, make a personal donation, and spend 6-8 hours a year making calls to members for dues and sponsorships.
Board members volunteer for at least one board or program committee (time commitments vary from very light to approximately 1-2 hours a month).

Please complete this form by Friday, September 13th, 2019 by 5 PM. If you have any questions, please contact Gloria Bruce at gloria@ebho.org or 510-663-3830 ext. 322.
