Associate Trustee Position
The Board of Trustees wants to encourage younger members of the family to learn first-hand about the Foundation by directly participating in the grantmaking process. The Board has instituted a category of membership called an “Associate Trustee.” Up to one family member may serve in this capacity each year. An Associate Trustee may serve one additional year, at the discretion of the trustees. Through his/her work on the Board, the Associate Trustee will develop deeper knowledge of areas of grantmaking practices and program evaluation. It is hoped that the participation of an associate trustee will reinforce his/her commitment to community involvement, and deepen relationships with other trustees and with members of the non-profit community.
An associate trustee will be a full voting member of the board of trustees, except that “no associate trustee will be eligible to vote to extend his or her own term or to vote upon the appointment of a trustee, if the associate trustee is being proposed as a candidate” (from the bylaws).
Position Requirements
Please note: these policies have been incorporated into the bylaws, and to the extent they are different than the bylaws, the bylaws take precedence.
