Applications are now open for the OUCH Board of Directors

OUCH is recruiting applicants for Board of Director (BoD) members to serve a one or two year term to begin effective the July 2008 Convention in Dallas.
 
OVERVIEW:
OUCH is a national nonprofit organization and is a legal entity accountable by law for its actions, finance and operations within the scope of its Charter. The OUCH Board of Directors is the highest authority and the controlling level of the operations of OUCH. It provides the direction, goals and oversight of all activities, functions and legal affairs of OUCH.
 
In order to gain recognition and funding for our causes, it is important that the OUCH Board of Directors be viewed as competitive with other national health organizations. In order to accomplish this and fulfill the obligations outlined in the OVERVIEW, we will be recruiting professionals with supervisory and management backgrounds and with specific experience and skill sets. Newly elected directors will also complete training related to serving on a non-profit Board of Directors, Mission of the Organization, Organizational Structure and Policies and Procedures and will participate in future training as it is developed.
 
Individuals interested in being considered will need to complete the Director Candidate Application Form located in the Volunteer Center of the Members’ Area on the OUCH website.
 
http://www.ouch-us.org/members/surveys/volunteer_application.htm
 
The Nominating Committee will review all applicants’ information, conduct interviews of qualified candidates and submit those with the necessary experience, skills and time to commit to the membership for election to the Board of Directors.
 
It is highly desirable that those elected should be available to attend the Convention this year and each year they are in office. The Convention is the official Annual Business Meeting of OUCH and the primary source of training for the Board and Committee Chairs.

If you have any questions about the election process or any problems using the application form, please contact Mike at: mike.day@ouch-us.org
