    I guess my question is what are your expectations of a financial board member? Are you concerned about your finance staff (like minimizing expenses or reporting issues)? Or fundraising and development issues? Do you need someone well versed in capital campaigns to help you expand your program/s? I believe that knowing what aspect you want to strengthen related to your finances would direct you on where to start looking for a board member. Some member only C-Level networking associations may have people looking for board opportunities. Just a thought.

    Hello Nancy, I was trying to say exactly that but you said it so much better. I agree bankers were the worst.
