Becoming a Board Member:
We are looking for a few dynamic individuals to serve on the Board of Directors. Interested applicants must share the agency philosophy of victim empowerment, be willing to serve on two standing committees and attend Board meetings the second Wednesday of each month from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in Monterey. The standing committees include Finance, Fundraising, Nominating, Personnel, Planning and Public Relations.
Board members are expected to support the agency financially in an amount that is meaningful to him or her in response to annual solicitations. Board members must attend at least one to three sessions of the 12-session crisis line training (held two to three times each year), attend advocate graduations, board retreats and special events.
The Monterey County Rape Crisis Center is especially
interested in recruiting individuals who want to get involved
in fundraising activities and to lend their energy, enthusiasm
and expertise to making MRCC's mission successful. We are looking
for diversity in ethnicity, gender, income level, age, occupations
and professions.
