Becoming a Board Member

Members of the Labdara Foundation Board of Directors are members in good standing of the Lithuanian community who are members of the Labdara Foundation and have been elected to serve on the Board by the Foundation’s membership at an Annual Members’ Meeting. To serve on the Labdara Board of Directors, you must be a member of the Labdara Foundation. You must meet the eligibility standard set in the Conflict of Interest Policy of the Labdara Foundation, and you must provide a clear Vulnerable Sector Police Check from the municipality in which you reside.

Applications are vetted per conflict-of-interest rules for Boards of Directors and submitted to the Nominations Committee in advance of the  Annual Members' Meeting. The Nominations Committee or the Board of Directors may request an interview or additional information before presenting the application for a vote at a Board Directors’ meeting to accept or deny the application. If accepted by a Board of Directors vote, the applicant then becomes a nominee and stands for election at the Annual Members’ Meeting. If the Labdara Foundation membership votes in favour of the nominee, the applicant becomes a Director on the Board of the Labdara Foundation and serves their three-year term. Board meetings are usually held monthly.

Please email your completed nomination form, resume, and Vulnerable Sector Police Check to labdarabod@gmail.com.
