We are looking for people that have experience in the areas of finance, legal, business, technology, education, human resource and/or government to fill our positions. The successful GC candidate is required to regularly attend meetings, held the last Tuesday of the month which last about 1 ½ hours. On occasion, special or emergency meetings may be called to address specific issues. In addition to attending the monthly board meetings, each member serves on a committee which requires a few extra hours of work outside of the monthly meeting. The new member must complete yearly GC training. Five hours of yearly training is required by state law. The GC position is generally held for two years and is a time commitment of about 5-7 hours per month.
