Members of our Board of Directors have the following responsibilities:

• attending Board Meetings, scheduled on the last Wednesday of the month at 8:00am
  
• joining and serving on at least one committee (more info below)
  
• remaining active, dues-paying members of Tanglewood, at the membership level of their choice
  
• attending the annual fundraiser, and selling tickets to their personal and professional networks
  
• advocating for the organization and being eager to talk to their friends, families, and communities about the work Tanglewood does
  

Committees generally meet once a month for an hour, and meeting times vary depending on the schedules of the committee members.  Board members should plan for an average monthly commitment of about 2-4 hours preparing for Board meetings, reviewing minutes, and participating in committees, plus a significant annual time commitment in outreach and networking on behalf of Tanglewood - including attending and enjoying the annual fundraiser with your friends! 

Committees include: Fund Development, Board Development, Human Resources, Facilities and Trails and our Ad Hoc Children's Trail.
