housing resources and shelters throughout the Hampton Roads area. This agency specializes in helping people through education, direct services, advocacy, and outreach programs. When I called this agency to inquire about its expectations for board members, I spoke with Ann Ruffin, who is the program director. After asking a series of questions she explained that the responsibilities of the board members at this particular agency is to ensure the proper oversight so that the organization can continue to make consistent progress towards the mission statement. Some other ways board members contribute to the agency is by donating gifts as well as introducing neighbors and friends to the organization. Furthermore, she explained that board members oftentimes include the organization in their own charitable legacy plans, for example, his could include leaving a percentage of your estate to the nonprofit or making the organization the beneficiary of an insurance policy. Lastly, I concluded by asking around what percentage of board members donate to the agency which she stated was around 90% of board members. She explained that board members often donate to the organization because they believe in its mission and they want to see it succeed. Additionally, board members may choose to donate to the organization as a way of giving back to the community and investing in its future. Agency Information: ●
