Terms and Conditions

Primary responsibilities of the Board of Directors

Determine and refine OEGlobal's mission and purpose
Lead strategic planning and monitoring to ensure activities are in support of OEGlobal's mission
Ensure adequate financial resources and retention of assets
Identify, support, and evaluate OEGlobal's Executive Directorship
Monitor the ethical and legal integrity of the organization
Orient and support new board members, build board capacity, and set board policies
Promote OEGlobal and its mission
Participate in Board-level committees and
Commit to the full board term of three years as stipulated in the bylaws.

To fulfill its charge, the Board will hold at least four regular board meetings a year, one of which will be in person (subject to the situation permitting) and three online. The in-person board meeting typically takes place adjacent to the OEGlobal conferences. Virtual participation during in-person meetings may be arranged to accommodate those who cannot travel. It is important that board members make every attempt to fully participate in all meetings. While substitutions are permitted if necessary, the substitute will not be allowed to vote on the Board member's behalf. In addition to regular board meetings, board members may need to participate in special board meetings, as necessary, to address matters of importance between regular meetings.

The Board member's institution is expected to cover the cost of the Board member's travel to meetings and the time that is given to OEGlobal. Individual members of the Board are also expected to cover the cost of travel to meetings and the time that is given to OEGlobal. The time commitment is 8-10 hours per month on average.

Likewise, it is anticipated that Board members will serve as liaisons to various standing committees and work groups, and occasionally represent the Organization at meetings and/or events.

I AM AWARE THAT BOARD MEMBERS EXPEND CONSIDERABLE NON-REIMBURSED TIME AND MONEY IN THE FULFILLMENT OF THEIR DUTIES. I ATTEST THAT I HAVE THE CONSENT OF THE NOMINEE IN THIS MATTER. I ALSO ATTEST THAT THE NOMINEE IS QUALIFIED AND ABLE TO SERVE IF ELECTED.
