Join our Board of Directors
We invite you to join a vibrant, passionate board that cares about providing nurturing, developmental, and FUN activities for youth with disabilities.
Thank you for your interest in joining our Board of Directors. We have currently paused the screening and onboarding of new BOD candidates until after our annual gala event in mid-October. If you submit an application between now and October, we will reach out to you after the gala concludes.
If you believe your professional expertise and experience can help further our growing, in-demand organization’s mission by assisting with financial oversight, development, volunteering, and/or general business support, we look forward to hearing from you.
Our Board Members add value to our organization through monthly meetings, participating in committees, participating in our annual fundraiser, and volunteering occasionally with our athletes. The impact you will make on the lives of KEEN athletes and their families will be very rewarding.
At this time, we are only adding new BOD members in areas where we are experiencing key knowledge and skill gaps. This includes: 1) IT experts, 2) Individuals with strategic fundraising expertise, and 3) individuals representative of the community we serve.
Board Members are Committed to:
- Learning our organization’s mission, policies, programs, and needs
- Serving as active advocates and ambassadors for the KEEN Chicago
- Engaging in identifying and securing the financial resources and partnerships necessary to further our mission
- Leveraging our connections, networks, and resources to help secure further activities and opportunities for our end users
- Developing collective action to fully achieve KEEN Chicago’s mission
- Securing or committing meaningful financial donation
- Identifying personal connections that can benefit KEEN Chicago’s organization’s fundraising and reputational standing
- Preparing for, attending, and conscientiously participating in board meetings
- Participating fully in one or more committees
