Board Development Chair
Governance & Nominating
Responsibilities

- Run the board's annual self-assessment and build the leadership pipeline — spotting and preparing future officers

- Partner with the Treasurer to track give-or-get progress honestly and transparently
- Help shape fundraising events and donor relationships together with the full board
- Keep an eye on board health — engagement, attendance, morale — and bring the Chair solutions, not just problems

Qualifications

- Experience recruiting, mentoring, or developing people and leaders
- Thoughtful and discreet — trusted with sensitive conversations
- Organized and encouraging; brings out the best in fellow board members
Board Expectations & The Ask
Serving on our board is a meaningful commitment — and we want you to know exactly what it looks like before you say yes.
Time
About 4–6 hours per month
Including board meetings, committee work, and community ambassadorship.
Attendance
At least 75% of board meetings
We meet quarterly — your presence and voice matter.
Term
2 years, renewable
Board members are eligible for re-election by the full board.
Path to the Board
Introductory conversation → board interview → board vote and onboarding
We take the time to make sure it's a great fit — for you and for us.
Conduct
Mission first
Confidentiality respected, conflicts of interest disclosed, and the community always at the center.
Compensation
Board service at DaisyMe is voluntary and unpaid.
We are a young foundation, still building our funding — should DaisyMe's resources grow to where board compensation becomes possible, that decision will be made openly by the board at that time. Today, the reward is the work itself: neighbors who no longer face the healthcare system alone.
The Monetary Ask
$10,000 annual give-or-get
Every board member carries a $10,000 annual give-or-get — a personal contribution, donations raised from your network, or a blend of both. Our Development Chair leads the strategy, so nobody fundraises alone.
If your heart is in this work, we'd love to hear from you.
Write to info@daisyme.org and let's start the conversation.
