I support and will work to further the mission of NeighborWorks Western Pennsylvania: "We promote stable, vibrant communities by providing our neighbors with comprehensive homeownership services." *
I can commit to serving a two-year term and to regular and active participation in board and committee meetings. *
I understand that board members are asked to show leadership in financial giving. I can commit to making a personally meaningful financial contribution at least once each year of service. *
I understand that one of the primary roles of the Board of Directors is governance. This means I will work with other board members and executive staff to make policy and financial decisions that guide the organization in the best direction possible. *
I am willing to facilitate new partnerships and/or make financial connections for the organization to the best of my personal ability. Additionally, I am willing to serve as an advocate and ambassador for the organization in my community and within my networks. *
I understand that I will often be privy to confidential information about the organization’s finances, personnel, customers, and other sensitive topics, and I agree not to disclose this information in any fashion, unless the Board of Directors has determined it is appropriate and will further the interests of the organization. *
I understand that if I have any “conflicts of interest,” I am required to inform the Board President in a timely fashion. A conflict of interest is any situation in which I might derive personal benefit from actions or decisions made in my capacity as Board Member, or even the appearance of such benefit. *
All of my answers are true and correct. I agree to abide by them if the NWWPA Board of Directors votes to include me among its membership. *
