Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is responsible for fundraising, policies for shelter operations, and community awareness. Our public board meetings are the 2nd Monday of every month at 5 pm. In addition, board workshops are generally held monthly, usually the 4th Monday at 5 pm. We are a working board. In other words, board members participate in program work, fundraising work, and administrative work. Our board members typically spend about 8 hours or more per week doing board related work.

We are looking for two more board members who believe in our mission and are willing to be active in his/her governance role. Our greatest need is for a secretary. We also need people who are excited about marketing, volunteer opportunities and/or fundraising. If you are willing to make a commitment of 1 year or more and are excited about being part of the group that shapes the present and future of BENCHS, please contact Susan Kroon.
