Governance Committee - 2010

The Governance Committee of the Alliance for Children and Families Board of Directors is made up of Alliance member executives and nonmember staff who may also serve on the Alliance board.

The mission of the Governance Committee is to develop a pool of prospective nominees for service on the Alliance Board of Directors, nominate individuals as necessary from this pool for various positions on the board, and to assure that board members carry out their responsibilities. Its purpose is to annually conduct the nomination process for the board by actively seeking recommendations from member agencies and fellow board members; nominate, in odd years, a slate of officers for board chair, vice chairs, secretary, and treasurer; annually conduct open nominations to fill positions on board committees; recommend annual committee assignments; recommend appointment of committee chairs and vice chairs to serve two-year terms; develop and monitor annual board performance goals; develop educational programs and/or opportunities to help enhance board member knowledge of Alliance programs and services; survey board members to determine their board service satisfaction; and periodically review overall governance issues and by-laws.
