What is the responsibility of CCRC’s Board of Directors?
Every nonprofit Board of Directors is unique, as every organization is unique. However, there are certain general responsibilities that are common to most successful boards.  Meet our current Board of Directors.

Sets the Mission and Vision of the Organization

• The Board is responsible for creating the organization's mission and purpose statements and reviewing them periodically to be sure they fit well with the direction of the organization's growth.
• The mission statement explains why the organization exists and who it exists to serve; the vision articulates a picture of the future that the organization hopes to create.

Creates a Strategic Vision for the Organization

Ensures Fiduciary Responsibility

• “Fiduciary Responsibility” entrusts board members to use the finances of the organization wisely and for intended funding purposes.
• The Board reviews and approves the annual budget and checks income statements and expenses against the Board-approved budget at monthly meetings.

Recruits, Trains and Evaluates Board Members

• The Board is responsible for its own growth and development, finding committed individuals to serve on the Board, and making sure that the final Board composition is balanced and appropriate.
• Board Members are also responsible for conducting self-evaluation to ensure they are adequately carrying out their intended leadership role.
