Agency Description:
NewLife Homes Inc. is a fast-paced entrepreneurial nonprofit that owns, manages and develops supportive housing focusing on serving the most vulnerable including persons with mental illness, the elderly, and formerly homeless. We have expanded outside Albuquerque and towards mixed income/mixed use development.
Position Description:
Our board includes a range of skill-sets including a CPA, lawyer, consumer, psychiatrist, social worker, commercial realtor, and advocate. Given the pace of expansion and board members retiring, the board is looking for new board members with construction, banking, and legal expertise.
Expectations:
Board meets monthly for 1-2 hours at our various community rooms at the projects in Albuquerque. To date there has been no expectation of formal fund raising or committee work, and board members are engaged informally as needed. The prevailing tone is one of passion for the mission, informality, receptivity to criticism, and good humor.
