Transfaith Board Nomination Form
The Transfaith Board of Directors is looking for more members, as well as seeking to expand our community of folks interested in volunteering in other capacities. If you or someone you know might be a good fit, please nominate yourself or them (but please let them know you're doing so, so they aren't surprised if we reach out).
Our board meets digitally once a month for 1.5 hours. Digital communications is central to our practice, so let us know if frequent emailing and video conferencing might be an issue for you. Depending on the role, there will be an additional 1-4 hours of meetings a month with some additional work. Most board members spend 3-6 hours a month on board responsibilities. We also strive to meet in person once a year for a Board retreat to vision, strategize, and plan.
Towards building an inclusive and diverse board, we will be asking some identity-related questions. However, identity should not prohibit anyone from being nominated. At this time, we especially encourage People of Color, Non-Christian, and Trans Feminine/Femme/Women to be nominated.

Board Roles and Responsibilities
While ours is not a “fundraising board” with a specific requirement for raising money, it is important for us to be able to show funders that our volunteer leadership is also willing to invest in the financial health of the organization. So our request of board members is for each one to make some financial contribution to Transfaith according to your means.
