Volunteer: Board of DirectorsWe are seeking community leaders to serve as members of our Board of Directors. Directors have special knowledge, abilities and experiences that can contribute to the growth of Camp Fire in Central Iowa. The board of directors consists of 16 to 18 members of the community and meets six times per year. Many board members serve on committees that may meet more often. Camp Fire is very respectful of your time, by making meetings efficient and purposeful. In this role, you will make three commitments; a commitment of time, a commitment of belief, and a commitment of financial support. A COMMITMENT OF TIME Conducting the business of Camp Fire Heart of Iowa means meeting as a board, in committees and with community groups. Meetings take time. Plus, time has to be given between one meeting and the next to complete assignments and make preparations. As a board member, you will also have opportunities to participate in council program activities, fundraising events, community forums and trainings. These are important ways to learn about your council and community and to stay in touch with the concerns of the members. Some board members over commit themselves. This leads to burnout and poor decisions. It is not good for the agency or for you. It is up to you to decide your personal limits. Good board members assume responsibility for only what they can complete efficiently and effectively.

Good board members assume responsibility for only what they can complete efficiently and effectively. A COMMITMENT OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT The board is responsible for obtaining financial support from the communities it serves. This may be done in many ways, but the individual commitment of each board member is essential. Each board member contributes to the financial stability of the council in three ways. Each board member is expected to make a financial contribution within his or her means. The amount of the contribution will certainly have an impact on the council, but more important is the act of giving. When each member of a board gives to support the council, it is a positive message to other givers in the community. Each board member is also expected to help identify sources of support for the council. The knowledge you have of the community will help the council implement an effective financial development program. Finally, each board member must be willing to ask for contributions to the council. Of course, this is done as part of an overall plan developed by the board.If you feel you have skills in marketing, finances, law, programming or planning, and you want to make a difference for young people in an outdoor setting, Camp Fire is the opportunity for you to give back to the community. Terms for this next board calendar start in March and extend for two years.
