+Do I have to be an executive director to join MCN's board?
It is not required to be an executive director to become a board candidate, but those who are not currently the chief executive of their organization must submit a support form signed by the organization's chief executive or board chair.
+Does my organization have to be a member to nominate someone?
Your organization does not need to be a current MCN member to nominate someone else. Anyone may nominate a candidate, however, the candidate must represent a current member nonprofit organization.
+I am interested in joining the board, but I'm a volunteer employee (or board member) of the organization. Is this allowed?
Any staff, board, or volunteers associated with an MCN member nonprofit may be nominated, so long as they are the chief executive or board chair, or have the support of the chief executive or board chair, indicated by submitting the signed support form.
+Can associate members be nominated for the board?
MCN's bylaws require that only representatives of MCN member nonprofits may be elected as a member-representative board member. MCN's board also is comprised of up to nine at-large board members, who are not required to represent an MCN member nonprofit.
+When does the board meet?
The board meets every other month, the fourth Tuesday of the odd-numbered months. Meetings are held during the workday from 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
