Board Positions

Meet the current board and learn how to become a Board member or how to nominate one.

Everyone one of us has jobs, families, and hobbies, so don’t let the “Board” title intimidate you, we’re flexible and realistic when it comes to board obligations. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or neighbor, it takes a village, and you’re part of it. PASS has both Volunteer positions and the following Board positions available. If you’re looking to support PASS’ causes and enhance your resume, we’ve got just the role for you.

Although Board members are not paid, their primary role is different from that of a volunteer. Board members are responsible for setting direction and have a fiduciary responsibility to the financials of the organization (in other words, they keep a close eye on expenses and revenue). 

If you’d like to be part of shaping the organization but don’t have time outside of Board meetings, you have a few options:

  1. Sign-up to an At-Large member.
  2. Recruit a “buddy” volunteer to support you in your duties.

By no means does this Board represent the entire team: there are other Volunteer Opportunities – Parents And Schilling Staff (PASS) (ourpass.org) working diligently behind the scenes.
