BOARD POSITIONS AT UZIMA WOMEN RELIEF GROUP INTERNATIONAL

Uzima Women Relief Group International (Uzima) is looking for Board of Directors. A variety of skills, interests, and experience are useful in furthering Uzima's mission, but nominees should ideally have administrative and fiscal oversight. We would also benefit from individuals with Financial management and Legal experience. As a not-for-profit organization, we seek diverse voices in working to improve the organization. We are therefore looking for board members from the cooperate sector to help raise our fundraising efforts for sustainability. Currently, Uzima relies on restricted funding mainly from the government and foundations. Unrestricted funding will be a stable source of funds for core operational functioning at Uzima.

As a board member you will be expected to attend quarterly board meetings. Uzima works with strict policies on anti-discrimination and anti-oppression. As a board member you will observe these policies and help other members, staff and volunteers to adhere to them. Uzima would like to stress further that commitment to the board duties, constitution and by-laws is a requirement.

Because Uzima is still evolving, the board is both a working board and a governance board. Board members are therefore expected to help with activities such as administration, accounting and fundraising. The following is a summary of the responsibilities of the board:

• Attend all board and committee meetings, functions and be prepared to participate.
• Stay informed about board and committee matters, review and comment on minutes and reports.
• Stay informed about the organization's mission, services, policies, and programs.
• Follow developments in the community, economy, government, etc. that may grow the organization.
• Serve on committees and offer to take on special assignments.
• Make a personal financial contribution to the organization (usually in Annual membership fees)
• Participate in organizational fundraising.
• Publicize Uzima through your networks and support Uzima on social media.
