Clean Lakes Alliance Board & Committee Application

ATTENDANCE:
• Community Board members are expected to attend the Community Board meetings (generally, six meetings per year) as part of their board service. At a minimum, Community Board members must attend 50% of the board meetings in the calendar year. Community Board members are required to contact the Clean Lakes Alliance office if they are unable to attend a meeting to excuse their absence.
• Every Community Board member is expected to attend one (1) Clean Lakes Intro coffee and seek out / invite a new business or individual to attend also.
• Every Community Board member is expected to join and regularly attend meetings of at least one Clean Lakes Alliance committee.
• Community Board members are expected to attend the Community Breakfast by either being a Table Sponsor or a Table Captain.
• In addition, members should make an effort to attend as many Clean Lakes Alliance organized events as possible, such as Yahara Lakes 101, Renew the Blue Volunteer Days, Frozen Assets, Loop the Lake and Community Awards.
• Note: Attendance at Community Board meetings is recorded, and members are expected to reply to the email notice or let us know in advance if they are unable to attend a meeting. Having two or more unexcused absences per year is considered below the commitment level expected of Community Board members.

ENGAGEMENT:
• Community Board members are expected to be engaged, supportive and enthusiastic members of the Board and of the Clean Lakes Alliance. This support would include:
o Remaining informed on key Clean Lakes Alliance issues and talking points;
o Advocating on behalf of the Clean Lakes Alliance in public and private forums;
o Being a visible and public champion for the lakes; and
o Seeking out and introducing new businesses and other contacts to the Clean Lakes Alliance.
• Members should also provide the Executive Director advice and counsel on Clean Lakes Alliance matters, especially in their areas of expertise.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT:
• All Community Board members are expected to personally give a financial donation in each calendar year to Clean Lakes Alliance; this does not apply to Board members who are representing elected offices or who are students—for these members, donations of any size are welcome.
• Community Board members should also encourage their respective businesses/organizations to join the Clean Lakes Alliance as Lake Partners.
