The Arc of Mecklenburg County is governed by a
volunteer Board of Directors consisting of people who are
involved in various aspects of our community. Each board
member contributes something unique and works diligently to
ensure that our agency has the strategies and tools in place
to continue to grow and serve our community. The Board
focuses mainly on advocacy, planning, and relationship
building.
Advocacy
Board members advocate at local, state, and national levels
for and with people with disabilities and their families.
Together we work to ensure disability policies and
legislation represent the best interest of children and
adults living with disabilities and their families. Advocacy
is an important part of the board member's role.
Planning
The
board works hard to ensure that we have a strategic plan in
place that helps us to reach our goals. Every year they
engage in a strategic planning session to develop the goals
and strategies that enable us to carry-out our mission
effectively and efficiently. Board members' involvement in
the planning process is important for proper oversight and
to the health of our organization.
Relationship Building
Board member's help to secure support of our mission and
cause within our community through their various connections
and networks. The board also engages in and supports our
fundraising efforts to make sure that we have the financial
means to carry-out our mission. A board member's connection
to the community is valuable to our ability to procure of
funds and solicit support.
The Board
meets every other month with committees actively meeting in
the months between Board meetings.
