New Board Member Application

We are looking for you!

Mountain Valley Horse Rescue (MVHR) is looking to expand its all-volunteer Board with up to three new members. After reading the following information, if interested, please submit an application by responding to the questions listed below.

Time Commitment Average 2 hours/week

Current Board members, particularly Officers, are spending an average of 2-5 hours/week on MVHR projects, on site and/or from home; of course, this isn’t always an even spread of time depending on events and other needs. This includes monthly Board meetings (via Zoom or, when it is safe, in person), currently on the 3rd Tuesday of each month in the evening.

Our Board strives to be as diverse a group of individuals as possible, with a dedication to the MVHR Mission and Values and a blend of the skills listed. Ideally we will also be from all of our region: Eagle, Routt, Garfield, Moffat, Pitkin, Summit, Lake

Basic Roles & Functions

The primary roles of the Board are to:

Work with the Executive Director to help make key operating and policy decisions
Assist in assuring that fiduciary responsibilities are met
Plan and execute fundraising (with staff and other volunteer support)
Fill support gaps as needed -- on site and administrative
Annually (or on a monthly program) donate funds to the level each is able
Commit to lead and/or work on projects and activities that match the skills brought to the Board (in addition to horse time, this is the fun part!)
Help to fill in on-site equine care and/or feeding shifts as capable

For more detailed descriptions of Board roles, including Officers, please contact Executive Director, Shana Devins at shana@mvhr.net
