Our Board.

The board is made up of elected or appointed member volunteers who jointly oversee the activities of the organization. MNODN is governed by a set of organizational bylaws and the board’s activities are guided by a strategic plan in which members of the organization as a whole provide input and ideas. The board strives to meet the professional needs of its members who participate in the learning and sharing of organizational development theories and practices.

Typical duties of the board members include:

  1. Govern the organization through policies and objectives;

  2. Ensure adequate financial resources;

  3. Create learning and networking opportunities for members;

  4. Grow a strong membership base to share organizational development theory and practice;

  5. Communicate and market information and opportunities to members; and

  6. Create opportunities to acknowledge scholars and practitioners.

A full description of the specific duties of each Board role is available by request. The Board solicits new board members each year in April with selection taking place by June.

Interested in a Board Role?

In addition to our recruitment effort for Board positions, we seek to form committees of 2-3 individuals to support each board function. These committees are opportunities for volunteer- based community development for MNODN by committing up to 5 hours per month (based on community needs).

Serving on a Board Committee is perfect for individuals who are passionate about MNODN and field at large who wish to contribute their influence to further shape the community. We wish to form Board Committees to support the following areas:

  • Programming

  • Membership, Networking, and the Mentor Program

  • Marketing, Social Media, and Communications

More information on Board Committee structure and responsibilities are available upon request. If you are interested in serving on the MNODN Board or on a Board Committee, please email our Chair, Alex Dutch-Greene (adutchgreene@gmail.com).
