A second thought I had... Although the staff does not officially serve on the Board, we do have significant input into organizational policy through the Board's standing committees. Each standing committee has a staff liaison who is a voting member on and facilitates their meetings--i.e. the Business Manager is the staff liaison for the Finance Standing Committee, the Associate Director for Programs is the liaison for the Program Standing Committee, etc.--and since most of the Board's work is done through these committees, the structure offers staff the opportunity to really have a voice on the highest levels.
