Brief answers (no more than 100 words for each answer) to the following 2 questions:
1. What is your vision for Kadima in the next five years, and how can your leadership contribute to this?

Kadima Board Member Expectations and Responsibilities:
1. Guide the overall direction of Kadima
2. Lead in organizational planning and goal-setting
3. Lead in fundraising efforts – make a personal contribution (as able), and actively participate in soliciting funds through contributions, grants, events, etc.
4. Establish and serve on committees
5. Approve and oversee compliance with annual budgets
6. Review and approve contracts, except in routine operational matters
7. Guide the work of the rabbi/education director
The board meets once a month for 3 hours, and 2-3 times a year for day-long retreats. The next retreat is Sunday, Feb. 11, 2018. Each board member is expected to serve as committee chair or board liaison for a segment of Kadima’s
work. Board members can expect to spend an average of 2 hours a week on board duties, in addition to the board meetings. Officers generally spend additional time on their duties. Board membership takes work, but it’s also rewarding – and we’re a fun group to be with!
